Wide as the Sea

I was asked to perform as part of an LGBTQ+ History charity event on Zoom during the 2021 lockdown. Instead of doing a live set to webcam, I offered to make a short film. I wrote Wide as the Sea with my sister Handina Dutiro. I devised and shot it around my flat, then pootled around on Premiere Pro to edit and caption it, bugging my more tech-savvy friends in the process for tips.

The result is a very DIY exploration of Queerness, bisexuality, and identity, made in just under a week on a £10 budget. I hope it’s fun and meaningful. I hope it resonates. I hope you enjoy it!
