Adventuress On A Mission

I should be chosen because I am a Filmmaker and Presenter who has been exploring the world, studying tribes and different ways of life whilst investigating current affairs and making a humanitarian effort to help people along the way.

In 2010, I travelled deep into the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest, where I lived with the Huaorani tribe and immersed in their way of life, hunting with warriors, gathering with women whilst investigating into the impacts of oil exploitation on their land. On this expedition, I was made Queen and married to a warrior to create an alliance and send their message about protecting their land through my film. I became the youngest person to make a first film in the Amazon jungle at the age of 21 with a premiere of "Amazon Souls" held at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. The film has been endorsed by rainforest charities Sky Rainforest Rescue, Rainforest Alliance, celebrity Adventurer Bear Grylls and continues to play in festivals around the world. Since then, I have travelled to a few other places around the world, living with tribes, investigating into gangs and writing and filming about it. My greatest ambition is to turn this passion into a profession and do this for a bigger outlet such as World Nomads.

Winning this competition would allow me to combine all my passions and allow me to do what I love whilst learning from the best in the industry on how to capture the festival in the most effective way for the people and for the country.
