British Award: I am Good at Karate // Dir. Jess Dadds

[Jess Dadds @JessRDadds]

Big news for me - I am now formally represented at @casarottoramsay as a Writer / Director. Feels very special to be signed to the same agency as people like Terry Gilliam! Watching films like Brazil late night on Film4 was what made me want to get involved in filmmaking :)

Recently made this for Apollo Ray - really fun project - thanks to @godisinthetv for the review and feature :)

Today is World Mental Health Day, which is supposed to be about raising awareness, but that will only get us so far. As well as being a personal issue, mental health is also a political one. I wanted to share a poster we made for my short film which confronts this. #WMHD @BFI

🤖 KIDS AGAINST THE MACHINE

Children and teenagers are up against the same struggles as adults but their coping mechanisms bring in playfulness as much as roughness.
