'Big Moves' (2023)
A lifetime of being told that she, as a fat person, can’t dance—and believing it—leads Glaswegian filmmaker Sarah Grant to re-enact iconic dance sequences from Friends, Pulp Fiction, Dirty Dancing and Britney Spears’s music videos, and expose the big fat lies that exclude bigger bodies from the dancefloor, as well as the cultural obsession with perfection and the deception that goes with it.

'Stunners' (2022)
Lola and Ruby are flatmates (more like platonic soulmates) who can't quite get their lives together, mainly because they spend so much time trying to justify their messy lifestyles and ridiculous existence to their peers and family.
Based on the RTS Scotland Award Winning short sketches made for BBC Scotland, Stunners was commissioned for a 15 minute mini pilot, and then a 30 minute script commission. Stunner was made with BBC Studios. You can see their sketches here.
'Pitching' (2024)
A woman lost on a hiking trail makes a desperate goodbye phone call to an ex, all the while remembering key moments from their long relationship.
An experimental short commissioned by BBC The Social, Pitches takes the split screen storytelling approach to new levels, showing 9 consecutive single take stories, some connected, some not. The idea was to be able to watch the piece multiple times and get a different story each time, all held together by the single monologue of the piece. It was performed by Nicola Docherty and Katrina Allen. You can watch it here.
'Scare' (2019)
A woman feels the full spectrum of human emotion that somersaults through her mind in the three minutes it takes for a pregnancy test results to show.
Made as a solo endeavour for the 48 Hour Film Project, Scare won the Edinburgh Competition, came 2nd in the Global Competition at Filmapalooza, and won Best Writing, Best Editing, and Best Female Performance., which meant it played at a special screening at Cannes. It has also had a successful festival run, and went into feature film development with Screen Scotland and Short Circuit in 2020. You can watch it here.
