I work for Glasgow based filmmaking charity Reel People Scotland set up with friends to work with local groups in our community.
I help with directing, teaching, filming and editing the projects. All the documentary films highlight a range of social issues including mental health, addiction, creativity projects, kinship care and the impact of social media on young people.
We also teach young people film-making skills and support them through the film making process.
