The Team
From conflict zones to cinema screens
As a filmmaker I had the opportunity to capture stories of migration, war and communities from around the world.
After seeing the struggles of refugees in the Middle East, East Africa and South Asia with my own eyes, I decided to create a platform for those stories to be shared with audiences in my local community in West Yorkshire.
Filmmaking is a tool which shapes the thinking of generations. My ambition is to educate and raise awareness of global issues through this craft.
Filmmakers for Change is a film festival designed to educate and create empathy globally.
Join us at our screenings.

Transcend borders through film
As someone deeply passionate about cultural enrichment, I am motivated by the profound impact that the arts have on shaping societies, fostering unity, and preserving the rich tapestry of our different cultures and diasporas.
I believe collaboration and transparency is key because it leads to valuable interactive experiences for the team, stakeholders, community and audiences.
Filmmakers for Change is a platform to transcend borders through the art of filmmaking and media is a powerful tool to unite people.
