Founder and Managing Editor

Short Stuff

Short Stuff is an independent magazine covering short film and short form content.

We provide short film with the love, dedication and analysis it deserves, giving shorts the same type and depth of coverage as features. We believe that short film is undervalued and underfunded, and that short form content is overlooked in the media. The gap in coverage means we’re missing out on hearing about exciting filmmakers, interesting perspectives and groundbreaking stories that are often made and presented by, for and about racialised and marginalised people in particular.

As the Managing Editor I oversee all our content across website and socials, write and edit our feature coverage and breaking news, and create and edit socials posts. I also run the day-to-day operations of Short Stuff, including managing a team of freelancers and collaborators, creating brand partnerships, measuring and responding to audience engagement, sourcing fundraising and investment, and liaising with film festivals, production companies, filmmakers and PR teams around the world.

Editorial Steward

In Practice x Healing Justice LDN

Healing Justice LDN (HJL) is an organisation dedicated to building community-led healthcare and healing. In October 2024, HJL launched In Practice, a space to dream up, imagine and rehearse alternatives that render our current systems of healthcare redundant.

As the inaugural Editorial Steward, I helped envision and build the platform from scratch. I then commissioned creative works that directly engaged with and responded to key themes in HJLs work, including disability justice, grief work, survivor work, politicised somatics, community-led research, abolition, and themes in and around these. Work could take the form of writing, art, audio, video, and multi-media projects.

I commissioned creative works in two rounds: the first was a selection of individual pieces that spoke to any of the themes, with an open and flexible approach. Then, I launched three specific collections around particular themes and commissioned work relating to each: psychiatric abolition and Mad liberation, trans community healthcare, and disability justice.

All the work is available to browse and enjoy on the In Practice site (scroll down to the Archive section for the first round of commissioned work).

Some of the work has been referenced in JMB’s report The Limits of Abolition in the Charity Sector by Dr. Ariel Breaux Torres.
