I had one morning with an Oscar Winning Actress at her home. A handheld camera, a light and no script. Two coffees later I was filming Emma Thompson playing out the before and after lives of a trafficked woman based on the simple insight that they are given a new name by their captures, feverishly turned into a script in less than half an hour. Edited, online and out across the world in 48 hours 'I'am Helena' attracted publicity across the globe appearing on mainstream TV shows and news channels and becoming YouTube 2nd most effective UK campaign other channel. I'm grateful to have won APA Top 50 director and a host of awards though nothing was as rewarding as working with Emma.
