LORE / 

My experience across the entertainment industry, adult education, media production, and community support informs the work of CineRPG CIC - a volunteer-led, non-profit organisation dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation through the power of fandom.

The organisation champions a variety of social opportunities both locally in Bristol and online, and explores new forms of collaborative storytelling experiences through the use of emerging technology (CoSTAR Ideate organisation 2025).

Our community work is funded through a composite model combining specialist training contracts in the film and HETV industries, personal investment, and public grants.
