COVID: OUR LOCKDOWN IN SHANGHAI

SMITHSONIAN / WONDERHOOD STUDIOS

PRODUCER / DIRECTOR

1 x 60’

A feature documentary about the COVID lockdown in Shanghai, China telling the stories of the residents of a single apartment block as the very first lockdown hits.

Described as ‘so timely that the word ‘timely’ doesn’t quite cut it’, ‘an indisputably great idea’ and ‘very human’ by IndieWire, and ‘intimate’ and ‘emotional’ by the Daily Mail.

I helped secure the commission, worked closely with the Chinese directors on the ground, and produced and directed the film in the edit.
