Hello, nice to meet you!

I’m Sheena, a filmmaker, theatre maker, and writer from Yorkshire.

I have directed five short films, including ‘The Ditch’, 'Roseberry Road', ‘0800-FINALGIRL’, and ‘A Plaster, a Paper and a Cheese & Pickle Sandwich’.

My latest film, Give Me A Name, screened at 12 film festivals worldwide and received two awards (Mindfield Film Festival - Diamond Award, Best Short Film; Canada Shorts - Award of Excellence).

I have been chosen to be part of the Watersprite Hubs 2025 Scripted Strand.

I also co-directed the first two seasons of ‘Persona’, the world’s first online soap designed for smartphones.

I am Co-Director of Drunken Chorus, a neurodivergent-led performance company and registered charity. We create contemporary performance, support and produce work by artists, and create projects to widen engagement and accessibility for performers and audiences. We run DISCO DISCO, a drama group for learning disabled adults and A Bit Of A Do, an inclusive performance festival.

In September 2023, we produced Liberty Festival, the Mayor of London’s annual free festival celebrating groundbreaking work by Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent artists as part of This Is Croydon, London Borough of Culture 2023.

I am Creative Consultant at Sparks Film School. I support the development of the curriculum and write film, photography, and animation workshops for young people aged 5-18, which are delivered at Sparks centres across the country. I also support with training new staff.

I have worked extensively in community arts since 2005, delivering film, drama, and art workshops for young people in a variety of different settings.
