Supported by the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Documentary Film Fund, Wear I Am is a 20-minute documentary exploring identity, gender euphoria, chosen family and grassroots solidarity through the journey of a donated parcel of gender-affirming clothing, from Wales, across the Irish Sea to it’s recipient.

Following the work of TIN Wardrobe, a grassroots organisation supporting trans, non-binary and intersex communities, the film celebrates the power of small acts of kindness and the communities that make them possible.

Created by a predominantly trans and queer filmmaking team, Wear I Am premiered on the opening night of the 2026 Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival, where it received an incredibly moving response from audiences.

As director and editor, my approach was to create an intimate, observational documentary that moved away from traditional talking-head interviews, allowing the story to unfold through natural interactions, carefully composed visuals and stylised sequences. From production through to the final edit, I shaped the film’s narrative and visual identity, balancing authenticity with a distinctive cinematic approach.
