An experimental short documentary film, which was shot during the filmmaker's early days of motherhood. This film is not a typical video diary but a deeper conversation about what does it mean to be a mother and the expectations that come with it.
Set against the backdrop of the iconic Manchester skyline, TREADING WATER tells the story of Danny as he is released from prison into the tough reality of supported housing, as he tries to take control of his life whilst dealing with the mental health issues that have shaped him. How a chance encounter with a past love becomes an obsession that leads to tragic consequences. How all choices are limited to what is in front of you, even when that means no choice at all. And how we are all ultimately just trying to get by each day, even if sometimes it feels like we are only treading water.

A powerful and emotional documentary short film that follows the lives of three courageous women who were forced to leave their home country of Ukraine due to ongoing conflict and war. Through this film, the director wanted to shed light on the experiences of Ukrainian incredibly strong and resilient women. They were forced to leave their homes, their families, and their country in search of a safe place for their children. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was one that they had to make for the survival.
Through these stories, we see the struggles they faced in a new country, language barriers, and cultural differences. But we also see the beauty of women's spirit, as they find the strength to rebuild their lives no matter what. Their stories are not just about the war, but also about hope and resilience.

An old farmer works his land like he always has, though his powers are waning. He loves his flock and his farm, even though the work is gruelling, and the seasons are getting harder to weather. He’s tied to the land that his forefathers farmed before him. But who will he leave it to in turn, when the time finally does come, for him to let go? His son and his daughter are both unfit, in their own ways, to take over. His daughter knows farming, but she doesn’t know sacrifice. His son’s only interest in the farm is as a property to sell, not as a repository of a family’s history, a lineage of their connection to the land. His children bicker over this inheritance, while he quietly, stoically, phlegmatically, with what is left of his powers, continues his long indentureship to the land.
