My bloke's new BFI-funded short drama Smooth The Edges should be heading to short film festivals later this year! I am very proud. It stars, and was written, directed, and produced by British Romani actors and filmmakers:

Really pleased to announce my new film "Smooth The Edges".
Having to keep it quiet for months and months has been hard - we shoot in February.
