                  .   Words can't describe how brilliant it was to be back helping the brilliant Ocean Film Festival team at Poole last Autumn and was super pleased for them to see how busy it was and how many visitors wanted to enter the competitions. The films were just as incredible as ever, Nell smashed it with her introductory presentations to the film and it was fab working with Jo again. If you get a chance to go this year, I really can't recommend it enough xx
