Our Founder Aysha Scott’s Unconventional Journey into Filmmaking

I did not attend film school and had to teach myself all the ins and outs from the ground up. Ever since I can remember, I have always had a passion for film; it became my escape from my colourful start in life. I grew up in Deptford to a single-parent family with six siblings, in a rough neighbourhood. By age 13, I was in a gang and quite a rebellious teen, but whenever I watched films, they gave me hope for the future and a new world and life to cling to.

Navigating Rejection: A Personal Journey in the Film Industry

Understand that rejection is not personal: One of the most important things to remember when facing rejection is that it's not a reflection of your worth as a person or the quality of your work. Rejection is often subjective and can be influenced by a myriad of factors that are beyond your control. Separating your identity from your creative endeavours can help you maintain perspective and resilience in the face of rejection.
