I feel incredibly honored to be a part of this, I owe a lot of my confidence in both myself and my capacity for filmmaking to Iris so I am grateful to be considered for the Pink Portraits Revisited. I have recently started to explore my identity in an open way I’m still figuring a lot out, but I know that thanks to the support of people around me and organisations like the Iris Prize, I am far more comfortable in myself than I ever have been!


Pink Portraits Revisited is produced by the Iris Prize and supported by Cardiff University, University of South Wales and Ffotogallery.
