I’ve recently created a new short animated documentary called Dix Pix.
It looks at queer identity, loneliness and vulnerability.
I am currently submitting the film to film festivals and plan to fully release it online soon.
Information on Dix Pix can be found here.

It follows an unnamed character who starts work at a radio station. He finds some old cassettes tapes that feature a series of interviews. The character listens to the tapes and realizes he is hearing interviews from an abandoned radio documentary on mental health. The character draws parallels with their own life and looks to learn from the tapes and express selfcare. The story draws on my own experiences with mental health
Interview ABC uses evocative imagery and powerful language to tell a personal and exciting story.
The comic is A5 in size and in full colour.
