Rosie Reed Hillman's passion for documentary film is inspired by her belief that visual and aural storytelling are the most eloquent and accessible ways of documenting what it is to be human. Rosie has six years experience working on the front line of social care with youth homelessness, care leavers and domestic abuse survivors, and brings her capacity to connect with people to her work as a filmmaker and photographer. After teaching herself analogue photography in 2001, Rosie converted her hobby and passion into a career completing an MA in Visual Anthropology in 2013 and going on to make multi-award winning Cailleach (2014) commissioned by the prestigious Bridging the Gap scheme. Rosie is interested in how co-creation can exist in observational filming, and is currently doing a practice led PhD in interactive documentary at UWE Bristol's Digital Cultures Research Centre.
