A Better Plant-Based Future
Before the lockdown I was lucky to work with an amazing team on mini documentary series about the benefits of a plant-based diet. The films raise an awareness of how plant-based foods are vital to the sustainability of our food system and the future of our planet.
Together with an editor Stephanie Tasker, director / producer Charlotte Charlton and Emma Dempsey, and creative director Graham Brooks with his team from G-Graphic, we have told four personal stories about how plant based diet can change health and life.
The films are part of A Better Plant-Based Future campaign for Upfield and you can see them here, by following the campaign on Instagram or by visiting my FILM page.
