Invisible Manners
Synopsis
This project has been developed closely with the charity's community in order to illustrate the many emotions and challenges an individual with an invisible condition can face on a daily basis. By using a mixture of animation, photography, and narrated lines read by stars from both outside and inside of our community, the film hopes to raise awareness of both Niemann-Pick disease(s) and invisible conditions more broadly...as "not all that you can see, is everything that is there"…and there are far more similarities than differences when it comes to the lived experiences of those affected by rare, genetic and/or invisible conditions.

The Baby Factory is Closed
Director: Deepa Mann-Kler
Year: 2026
A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
