Curious Spirit Pictures I’ve never been comfortable with the word content. Content is beige. Safe. Forgettable. Made to be consumed and discarded. Follow trends. Replicate success.

At film school, my creative partner and I were pushed to imitate. We were encouraged to make work that looked like everyone else’s, not stories that felt true. Later, in education, I saw the same thing from another angle: rigid frameworks, repeated curricula, information over curiosity. Stay in line. Don’t deviate. But when everyone follows the same line, you don’t stand out—you disappear. Everything changed when I lost my creative partner. Standing by his coffin, I made a promise to keep telling the stories we believed in. In the quiet that followed, I immersed myself in storytelling—how stories work, why they move us, how we learn through them, and why we remember them long after facts fade. It changed how I made films and how I taught. Engagement deepened. Ideas stuck. People leaned in. Curious Spirit Pictures grew from that belief: helping educators, organisations, and individuals create stories that connect, are felt, and remembered. Because content fills space. Stories change people.

A huge thank you to everyone who so kindly sponsored, donated and helped to raise over £400 for Mental Health UK. You are all amazing!
We completed the 20 km route in 4 hours and 38 minutes, with a few brief pauses to take some photos (couldn’t resist) and a brief moment where we lost the course arrows and got lost 😂.
Thank you all again - now to start planning next years challenge 🤔

The difference isnt just about what we see on the outside, it’s about what we don’t see underneath.

2 pictures.

One was taken 12 years ago and it’s a picture I hate because It doesn’t feel like me. It was when I was at my lowest point - stressed, depressed and just going through the motions.

Looking back, I don’t just see the physical signs of someone struggling, I remember the internal signs that I was ignoring.
“How are you?”
“Yeah, I’m Fine thanks!” and throw a smile for added reassurance.

The other picture, which was taken this morning feels like me! Because looking at these pictures side by side, I can see and feel the difference clearly - it’s been a journey, one that has changed my life, left it scars but ultimately made me a better person. A person that feels more like me!

The truth is Mental Health is something that sneaks up on people and it feels easy to ignore and suppress… until it’s not. Until you feel trapped. Hopeless. Lost. I’ve been there and I have lost others who have too.

That’s why this Saturday I will be taking part in Glow London, walking 20KM to raise money for Mental Health UK and support them to provide help and guidance to those who find themselves looking for a spark of light at their lowest, darkest moment.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, but if you would like support me to raise more for such an important cause, please follow the link below

The first rule of Funding Club is…
you should talk about funding club.

A great launch session on Saturday of Funding Club, hosted at Metal Southend.

It was great to meet and talk to other local creatives and educators all looking to make a difference through some amazing potential projects.

I’ve always seen the application stage of applying for grants and investments as a minefield, so a huge thank you Southend Creatives and Castle Point Borough Council for this opportunity.

Your video is often making that 1st impression for a potential client, long before they ever meet you.

That’s why when you partner with an award-winning Video Storyteller, you get video assets that capture the heartbeat, spirit, and tone of your business at its core - a bespoke video story that authentically connects and shows clients exactly who you are and what they can expect.

Likes 👍 and hearts ❤️ don't hold up skyscrapers.

Publishing videos that chase algorithms or jump on fleeting trends might grab a few quick likes, but what does it actually say about your business?

You need video content designed to build long-term business value, giving your clients a clear, confident understanding of not just what you do, but who you are.

A great video story sets the bedrock for your entire brand. It becomes a permanent building block in the growth and history of your organisation - always relevant, always meaningful, and always authentic to who you are.

That’s the core difference when you partner with a dedicated Video Storyteller. I bring a strategic narrative design to every organisation I work with, building a rock-solid creative blueprint that anchors your core values and gives you strong foundations to build future campaigns on for years to come.

I always park the car a few streets away when I do the school drop off and pick up, and the reason I do this is simple.

The time before I leave the house can be hectic and busy - lunches to make, clothes to sort out, distractions to manage to get her out the door. The drive can also be manic, focusing on navigating the commuter and school traffic safely.

So the walk to school gives me not just a brisk stretching of the legs, it allows me a non-distracted moment to talk, listen and connect with my daughter as we walk in or out together. A chance to share our thoughts and telling each other stories. It’s only 5 minutes, twice a day, but it’s such an important moment for both us to connect, (and the solo part of the walk allows me a bit of head space too).

There are so many things today that distract, masquerade or stop us from humanly connecting, that it’s important that we actively take the time to find those moments where we can authentically connect with others because the benefits are so much more.

You are more than just sales jargon and business! 📣

Shouting about your product or service isn't the secret to winning your customers' hearts - building authentic human connection is.

Your videos shouldn't feel like a pushy sales pitch that makes people tune out. Instead, a well-crafted video story creates a natural, magnetic pull - inviting your ideal clients directly into your world, getting to know who you are, and staying longer.

That’s why when you work with a Video Storyteller, you get a personal, hands-on approach to designing and creating your video, with direct, 1-2-1 narrative guidance every step of the way.

Whether we’re crafting high-impact marketing and promotional films, authentic client case studies, or engaging training videos, I bring award-winning creative intuition, film production, storytelling and strategic design expertise, and dedicated support to ensure your video captures the true heart and spirit of what you do and why you do it.
