Had a cool full circle moment today at the National Trust's Blossoms event in Fleet Street, London.

After almost a year of giving up teaching film, media and English to become a full time film maker, I was invited to this event celebrating the blossom season as part of the National Trust's programming this year.

Speaking at that event was poet laureate; Simon Armitage, who had written some poems about blossom for the National Trust. He's one of my favourite poets and over 7 years of teaching, I had the pleasure of teaching his poetry to secondary school students. As he performed some poems about blossom, just behind the camera and opposite him was a film I was commissioned to make about blossom in Morden Hall Park.

Over the last year, I've made a lot of personal progress with my own filmmaking and been involved in some amazing projects, including all of the ones I've made with the National Trust.

It felt such an honour to be sharing a space with a poet I'd been taught poems of for gcse english and subsequently taught to students as an English teacher myself.

A year of filmmaking has come full circle to my last career, which I'm also forever thankful for being a part of.

Here's to the next year of more amazing opportunities as a filmmaker. I look forward to learning more, meeting new people, sharing more interesting stories and hopefully sharing more spaces with people I admire.

It's been only a few months since I've started this exciting new venture and so far I've worked with some amazing people, organizations and companies to create some work I'm really proud of.

I'm really excited for the future and I'm most looking forward to collaborate with those who want to share their passions, events and their livelihoods. Most importantly I'm looking forward to being able to tell interesting stories and share the voices and memories through the films made.

To quote Humphrey Bogart ""I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship."

Here's a link to a film I made in July of this year.
