    You might recall that Shooting Freetown recently made One World Media's shortlist for their Student Award.

    Well I'm proud to announce that the film has been nominated by a jury panel of media professionals as one of the three finalists!

    I will be attending the awards ceremony which will be hosted by Jon Snow, taking place at on Tuesday 8th May at Kings Place, London.

    This is a really exciting moment for me, this recognition is beyond what I could have expected when I was out there in Freetown last summer making the film. I'm so pleased the stories of Arthur, KP and Paps will reach a wider audience and I hope it contributes to a different kind of understanding of life in Sierra Leone.

    The full list of nominees can be found here.

    Wish me luck!

    If you want to find out a bit more about One World Media and the work they do, I'll hand you over to Mr. Snow...

    The One World Media Awards is one of the foremost Awards events in the UK. It rewards the most outstanding media coverage of the developing world, and recognises the unique role of journalists and filmmakers in bridging the divide between different societies and raising awareness of vital development issues.

    Click here to see the other entries that will move on to the second round of judging, which will take place in March. Three nominations for each category will be announced in mid-March.

    The awards ceremony will be held on Tuesday 8th May at Kings Place in London. 

    To get an understanding of issues One World Media is trying to tackle, take a look at this short clip by The Institute of Development Studies (IDS), featuring Jon Snow (Channel 4 News and Patron of One World Media)

    I've got my fingers crossed for this one, come back in March to find out if I make it through to the official nominations and get to shake hands with Jon Snow in May!

  • About

    I am a recent MA graduate of the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology, University of Manchester. I specialised in Ethnographic Film and in Summer 2011 made a short film in Sierra Leone called 'Shooting Freetown'.

    I currently live in Manchester, where I'm looking to continue working in film-making and visual anthropology, as well as returning to Sierra Leone.
