Hi, I am a young female self taught, award winning-independent filmmaker.

I love love love making films. I started making movies when I was 12 and have been properly self taught for 4 years now. I have a new Edwardian short film titled 'BITE.' starring two very talented actors Jonathan Taiwo and Luke Bradley, the film will be released autumn 2026.

My first successful feature film released in February 2026. It is apart of a zombie apocalyptic generation franchise we are in the making of. Please go to our YouTube channel (@LakeFilmsProduction) and give our film 'Destination North' a watch, if you enjoy it there is WAY more to the story and characters yet to come.

If you want to dive deeper into; more detailed, cinematic and emotional story, help us out by donating so we can create our vision for the next film. We created the first film with a strong motive, creative minds, positivity & believing in each other but also with zero budget. Purely just passion.

So if you take the time to donate and help us out, with a bigger budget we can create the best young filmmakers & creatives indie project, with true love and passion.

We have so much left to tell with the sequel to our last movie 'Destination North'.

Please welcome our upcoming gritty, thrilling, horror, dark, emotional, adventurous, dystopian zombie full length feature film:

'Northbound: The Eastern Shadow'

This time round we are taking a huge step up, to really create an amazing movie. I am working along side a well known indie filmmaker from London, known as Marce S. He is a very talented filmmaker and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on since march 2026!

We hope you can help us to achieve our dream, but most importantly we hope you enjoy watching the film just as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Keep supporting us! It means the world!

Yours sincerely, a freshly 18yr old passionate young filmmaker & director
