Exciting news!
My documentary Tails From The Borders has made it to the semi-finals of the Darklands Film Festival!
'Darklands' is a unique festival that shines a light on unusual and tough subjects — from war to human struggle — and I’m honoured that my film has found a place among such powerful stories. It has made it to the semi-finals
This project was made on zero budget but with endless passion, and it means so much to see it recognised here. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. This film focuses on the most innocent victims of war, the wildlife, livestock and pets.
Thanks to animal welfare supporter Martin Clunes for taking time to film the introduction at the beginning of my film and to all who bravely took part in the interviews and gave me their time. Special thanks to Stas Kapralov
If you wish to donate, please contact me and I will direct you towards the charities mentioned in the film.
Onwards to the next stage of Darklands!

The horses reward is peace - as predators we learn from rewards. We seek a prize, a treat, or a bonus to motivate us. We are to search, find and achieve. The urge to pursue, to hung, links directly the satisfaction of the reward at the end. The minds of a prey animal are different. Life is pleasurable to a grazing animal when there are no threats and they are left in peace. In Equine Therapy we seek only for the horse to be a horse and that is what we work with.
