Such A Vivid Imagination

Executive Producer · 2025 · Feature Film

A twelve-year-old girl escapes her family's unraveling by retreating into her imagination — until a body in the woods pulls her back into a reality she can no longer distinguish from fiction.

Such a Vivid Imagination is a UK feature I executive produced — a dark coming-of-age drama directed by Ina Lüders from a screenplay by David Fedash, produced by Julia Gurry and Alessandro Garau. The film stars Sheherazade Makhoul Farrell as Celia, with Nancy Breheny, Cherry Walters, and Laura Ashcroft in principal roles. Shot in the UK countryside by cinematographer Jo Hofmann, with editing by Aideen Johnston and score by Matthew Gurry. Released in 2025 with UK distribution.

I came in as Executive Producer through IKIGAI International, partnering with the UK producing team on post-production cuts, festival strategy and distribution strategy. I sat in cuts with creative team, giving notes that shaped the final film. The film's register — intimate, psychologically grounded, visually patient — required producing choices that protected the director's instincts under first-feature pressure, and that was the job I was in the room for.
