MY DEBUT BOOK!

My first book, a movie memoir manifesto, is set for release by Footnote Press on September 29th! 

​

I speak from the heart in Strong Female Character, a personal and incisive reflection on how cinema has been the key to understanding myself and the world we live in. Interweaving anecdotes from familial and personal experiences – episodes of messy sex, introspection, and that time actor Vincent D’Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded ‘like a secret agent’ – I offer a critical eye on the screen’s representation of women and ethnic minorities – their impact on my life, body image and ambitions – with a lot of humour.

Divided into sections Origin Story, Coming of Age, Adult Material, Workplace Drama and Strong Female Character, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society.

Warm, funny and engaging and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to readers of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.
