INVASIVE | The Machinery of Power
A political audiovisual piece exploring corrupt politics, media manipulation, censorship, polarisation, war, violence, human rights, climate change and the humanitarian consequences of political power.
We live surrounded by information.
But who decides what reaches us?
Who decides what becomes truth?
And what happens when reality is buried beneath noise?
Built from archival footage, contemporary imagery and “Digital Silence” by Peter McPoland, INVASIVE is a confrontation with the systems that shape what we see, what we believe, and what we are willing to accept. From political corruption and manufactured narratives to war, displacement, and human suffering; from environmental destruction and climate change to the devastating effects on the animals and ecosystems caught in the fallout, INVASIVE asks what happens when power is placed above people, truth, and the living world.
This is not a story about the past. It is happening now.
Can You Hear That?
A Personal Exploration of Invisible Noise
Tinnitus is a sound that cannot be heard by anyone else. ADHD can create a mind that never seems to fall quiet.
This is an attempt to visualise what that noise feels like.
Through sound, animation, archival imagery and fragments of my own life, this short experimental documentary explores tinnitus and ADHD not simply as conditions, but as experiences that can be difficult to explain to someone who has never lived with them.
Because how do you show someone a sound they cannot hear?
How do you explain a mind that never seems to stop moving?
Part personal essay, part visual experiment, Can You Hear That? is my attempt to make the invisible visible – to give shape to something that, by its nature, has none.
Written, filmed, edited and sound designed by Anthi Nicola.
Still Cooking.
“Still Cooking” is a short excerpt from Almost There, a documentary exploring what it feels like to leave university and step into the uncertainty of chasing your passions in real life.
This film follows the in-between space after graduation, where ambition, doubt, identity and creativity collide. It’s about not having it figured out yet, but still moving, still trying, still cooking.
Part of a wider documentary project Almost There, reflecting on creative careers, pressure, and the search for direction after uni.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “there” yet, this one’s for you.
Degrees of Reality.
Degrees of Reality is a short observational documentary exploring post-university life in London in 2026.
The film centres on conversations with two graduates from contrasting backgrounds, one an international student and one UK-born from Mitcham. They are not introduced by name, allowing them to reflect a wider shared experience rather than individual narratives.
The questioning is direct and unprepared, and moments of silence, hesitation, and discomfort are intentionally retained. The film prioritises presence over narrative, functioning as a record of lived experience rather than a constructed story.
I was responsible for all aspects of the production, including concept development, directing, filming, sound, and editing, allowing for a consistent and unfiltered perspective.
Degrees of Reality reflects my interest in documenting raw, unmediated conversations and capturing the emotional realities of navigating life after education.
