Penguins are my heart’s compass, leading me to a world of pure joy and endless fascination.

About the Rome International Short Film Festival: Rome is a ‘grand’ place and has been significant to the film industry. This seasonal festival is designed to showcase outstanding short films, celebrating the works of independent filmmakers around the world, providing a place for cinema lovers to experience new ideas and works promoting new discourses about the future of cinema.
We now have seven nominations across three continents – thrilled to have won this award.
This second film is longer than the first, more of a documentary and using much of the video footage that we took on our expedition to South Georgia Island and Antarctica. Funny though, as I looked back searching through our photographs and video’s for good footage for the film, I realised that IF I had known that I would be writing and making short films back then, I would have done things differently. Well, I guess who wouldn’t. But In the end it’s getting the message out there about how our environment is changing and what we, each individual, might do to help.
