A climber, botanist, and poet, Libby Houston, at 80 years old, continues her remarkable work scaling the 300-foot cliffs of Bristol’s Avon Gorge to study rare plants. With her poet’s eye for detail, Libby has helped establish the area as one of England’s most vital botanical sites. Yet, as she monitors the last known specimen of her namesake discovery, Houston’s Whitebeam, the plant’s inevitable extinction causes Libby to reflect on her own legacy.

PUZZLEMIND Composer


Premiered Girls In Film

 

Puzzlemind is a surreal, visually striking short film about the pursuit of success. As a canvas nears completion, it becomes clear that happiness isn’t found in the final result but in the process itself. Shot on Super 8, the film embraces imperfection and questions whether fulfillment lies in arrival—or in the journey.

HAUTE MESS  
Co-Director & Composer (Currently in Post Production) // Documentary


Oxford is a university defined by the world’s top thinkers and archaic traditions. Re’em and Marcus, two young queer students, felt alienated by its stifling conventions and dreamed of something different. The result was Oxford’s first drag performance night, Haute Mess.

Not content with having created the cult queer night of Oxford University, our protagonists throw themselves into new and increasingly dangerous situations as they seek to expand. In the Alps, they perform to 3000 Oxbridge students, where they are confronted with drunken, debauched crowds.The film centres on the troupe’s sole drag king: Nicole. As an outsider, she is keen to prove her worth to a scene in which she feels invisible. She is a king in a queen’s world, and the film follows how intimidating and brutal this reality can be.

Haute Mess is an intimate, queer coming-of-age story about three young people stumbling towards adulthood, and fighting to build a community where many thought it impossible.

RAT KING // Composer, Sound & Foley Designer 

ICA & BBC ARTS


A lone musician plays a tune on a tuba. Two characters are transfixed by a maypole and the distant sound of Jerusalem. As they become entangled in its ribbons, they grapple with each other on a journey to England’s edges.

In a distant retelling of folk tales and the urban legend of the ‘Rat King’, the film explores the myths and stories which create English nationalism. On their journey through ‘Englishness’, the characters are faced with two conflicting desires: community and exclusion.
