🎭 What Is Mental?

My third feature. I’ve made a rom-com with non-white leads. A Black female-led London drama. I've written Sci-Fi scripts, Thrillers and Period novels.Mental is the darkest story I’ve told — a young Black man, a mind-reading bag lady, and a broken filmmaker, all squatting as the city burns around them.It’s a film, yes — but also a rebellion.

👤 The Cast of Characters

Mental

Black male, 24–30. Solidly built, intense, quietly sharp. A people-pleaser with a dangerous edge.Ex-mental health patient. Ex-prisoner. A student of George. (He is Africa).

George

Iranian man, 60s. Disabled, sweat-stained, anxious, brilliant.A weary academic wearing the scars of trauma. (He is the Middle East).

Maureen

Woman, 60–80. Bag lady. Mind-reader.Seen as mad, but sees everything.
(She is Gaia).

Emilia

White woman, 22-25.Educated, attractive, entitled and out of place. (She is The West).

🎬 Who I Am

I’ve worked with no budgets, no safety nets, and no roadmaps.I tell stories that centre non-white characters in roles we rarely get: the rebel, the romantic, the flawed genius, the haunted soul.From comedies to sci-fi to riot dramas — the genre changes, but the mission does not.From Comedy to Sci-Fi to Riot Drama — poetry, plays, screenplays or novels, the genre changes, but the mission does not.
