Overall, I am very happy with the outcome of my documentary. There were a few things that did not go to plan including filming dates that had to be rescheduled, this was due to Margaret having to do a PCR test and she could not get the results in time for the shoot. I feel…

After my original (documentary) idea fell through, I was unexpectedly presented with an opportunity for an interesting documentary.

The doc would have included interviews from people working within the vegan food and grocery industry as well as hopefully some activists but none of the activists got back to me and all the grocers cancelled because of lockdown restrictions and…

I dabbled between a variety of ideas but eventually settled on sartorialism which is the art of tailored clothing. This is a style of clothing which I…
