A little over a year ago I put this short film I made 'Escape' on @YouTube. It's not an easy watch, based on the day me and my family attempted to escape my abusive Dad 17 years ago.

The film just hit 100,000 views. 1/5

#domesticviolence #awareness

There is a crazy amount of shared experiences in the comment section & I've had people reach out from all over the world and say how much the film has both affected them and helped them which has been the most humbling thing for me as a filmmaker & a survivor.

Right now domestic violence is off the scale, there are thousands of people trapped with their abuser with nowhere to escape during this lockdown.
