Cat and Hannah

Directors

About Me

We are two female filmmakers working on our first feature length documentary.
Hannah (right):
After graduating with a degree in English Literature, Hannah turned to a different medium of storytelling: film. She is particularly interested in queer and feminist film. Her 90 second experimental short 'H S K T', examining women's psychology about their bodies, won at the 2019 Camberly International Festival. https://vimeo.com/321327282
She has worked with the Teddy Award (queer film prize at the Berlinale) where she interviewed high profile filmmakers including Rupert Everett and Isobel Coixet, as well as writing articles for their blog,. Outside Berlinale season Hannah worked in digital marketing for distribution company DCM film.
Cat (left):
Cat's background in anthropology was vital to the ethnographic aspect of the documentary. In 2017 she spent months in Berlin interviewing female Syrian refugees about fertility for her dissertation. Despite the language barrier & sensitive interview topic, her research was ranked best in the year and awarded Oxford University's Wilma Crowther Prize.
Her film experience involves presenting a documentary for Japan's NHK in 2017 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVnTXU41ZII&feature=youtu.be ) and promotional videos for her University College & Comunitere Nepal. More recently (and somewhat tragically) she was a contestant on BBC series Egg Heads. She remains adamant that her aptitude for film-making is better than her general knowledge!
