  • Vultures
    Vultures (2021) Director | Executive Producer | Screenwriter

    Vultures focuses on a sexually diverse host of characters, drawn from different corners of the globe, whose blatant cheating, manipulation of others and inappropriate behaviour serves up a comedic feast. Bold, irreverent and outrageously funny, Vultures hits a comedic tone that makes the viewer wonder if they are really allowed to laugh.

  • Mama
    Mama (2024) Director | Screenwriter

    Lulú, a 7-year-old girl, records a voice note describing how she sees her mum. We intercut between Lulú recording and Lulú helping her mum get ready to go out with her friends. She brushes her mum's hair, helps her pick out a dress, they dance together, put on make up, all to the sound of Lulú's words about her mum. Lulú's mum has had a mastectomy. As she is about to leave the house she has a moment of doubt, but as she unlocks her phone she finds her daughter's voice message. As she sees herself reflected in her daughter’s words, she begins to feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

  • When it Rains it Pours
    When it Rains it Pours (2021) Director

    Comedy-drama short film directed by Denise Moreno. A woman in London (who doesn't really have a flat) works at a perfume shop (though she wants to write movies) and throws herself headlong into her dreams, even as the possibility of realising them dwindles.

  • Marengo
    Marengo (2021) Director

    A fun affair begins at a funfair in this charming video for Spanish '80s disco-boogie nugget, Marengo's Puente De Esperanza, featuring dancers Anna Engerström and Wing Yue Leung. Directed by Denise Moreno, it's an engaging dance film, choreographed by Engerström and wonderfully shot by Jan Vrhovnik on 16mm. The pair find each other by the crowded merry-go-round, and their romance plays out in movement as the now-deserted funfair becomes their personal playground. Their only company comes from the distracted occupant of the ticket booth - watching a video from the '80s on his portable TV. That's a nod to the era when the track was originally released - in 1986 - and Marengo's Puente De Esperanza is now the debut single from Soundway Records' classy compilation, Ritmo Fantasía: Balearic Spanish Synth-Pop, Boogie and House (1982-1992).
