A raw reel, filmed in the moment, with the kit I could fit in my backpack, to try capture the vibrancy of the Extinction Rebellion UK #TheBigOne event.
An estimated 92k turned up to march on Saturday! A thrilling, diverse, bustling carnival of incredible like-minded people and inspiring speakers, uniting together in solidarity against climate, social and racial injustice!

Sad news for Reclaim Our Sea and our sea loving community ๐๐
We made as much noise as we could!
A community vigil will be held this Sunday 6pm โจ
A recap of Reclaim our Sea 's journey through 2022. I've felt so inspired documenting this campaign and watching our resilient, vibrant, creative, sea-loving community stand up against exploitation of our local waters!
I had to try and help somehow, with my goofy video edits, to help share this incredibly important story of nature, community and standing up for what matters ๐๐๐
Thank you everyone working so hard in this group to help protect our waters and wildlife! Thank you especially to Sally, for all your hard work, for inspiring so many and for becoming a bonkers influence on me in the best ever way ๐ encouraging me to help do more to help the sea... ๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐๐ฆญ๐ฌ
Thanks to all the wonderful volunteer photographers and videographer/ drone operators who contributed fantastic media to all the videos included in this edit! ๐ธ๐ฝ๏ธ
I made a cheeky edit of the fishermen's protest at the Teesworks entrance today... What do you say to the North East Fishing Collective Tees Valley Major Ben Houchen ?

P.S: No, not labour loons trying to derail the Freeport - we just want to protect local jobs and our sea!!!
An emotional event for Reclaim our Sea on Saturday night ๐๐ฅนโจ
Very technically tricky to film and the fastest edit I've done! It was fab working alongside Grecko Indie Media for this! Awesome drone footage ๐ฝ๏ธ๐๐
Forever inspired by Sally Bunce and our wonderful community for all standing in solidarity with our seas ๐๐
Beautiful lanterns by Helen Taylor and the Guardians of the Sea made for a visually striking display! ๐๐๐โจ๐ฆ๐ฝ๏ธ
A light infused celebration of hope! ๐โจ
A video to promote this sparkly show of solidarity to our seas, with Reclaim our Sea and Guardians of the sea, this Saturday evening on Saltburn pier at 6pm! ๐ฝ๏ธ๐โจ Can't wait to film this one!
A video I made of the Saltburn Pier Protest against sewage and sea pollution on 06/11/2021, to highlight the importance of young people and communities having a voice about their environment.
One year later to the day and the government are now criminalising the act of protest and people are still fighting for better environmental laws and treatment of our seas. We won't give up!
