ABOUT FLORENCE 

Hello! I'm a documentary filmmaker and audio artist based in Wales.

I'm an experienced self-shooter and editor of non-fiction film. Following an MA in Ethnographic and Documentary Film from UCL in 2017, studying with the Open City Docs School in London, I moved my work to Wales and the South West to work with local communities and stories. My films have screened in festivals and venues around the UK and Europe, and I'm focused on using film as a tool for sharing underrepresented stories and changing the way we see the world. 

 

I came to film via a love of music and ethnomusicology, with a  BA in Music from Durham University. In 2019 I completed a short course at the National Film & Television School in Narrative Sound Design which now forms an important part of my approach. Committed to the wellbeing of those I work with, in 2024 I completed my Level 3 Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP-approved), and am 2 years into intensive Welsh classes to get my spoken Welsh up to scratch for directing.

 

I was selected as a BBC New Creative for the BBC Arts scheme 2019, which led to my first broadcast project which is now available on BBC Sounds. In 2020 I was selected as one of Cornwall's '30 Under 30' practitioners to watch by Cornwall's Chamber of Commerce for my work in film and creative project leadership. In 2021-22 I shared my first piece of work for exhibition, hosted by the National Trust and Redwing Gallery, followed by exhibition film projects at Swansea Museum and the Tate St Ives in 2022-23. I'm currently developing more projects for production in 2024-25, and shooting on the Netflix-approved Sony FX6 camera.
