Lucy is a documentary filmmaker, photographer and animator. Her past projects include two films documenting her transition; a feature film, 'Pronouns in Bio' (2023), a series of daily video logs recorded as she began her medical transition in 2021, and a short film, 'A Tight, Warm Hug' (2024), which reflected on growing up trans and how her transition has helped her to become her authentic self.
Her third film, Tgirls Make Music (2026) was a documentary commissioned for Film and Video Umbrella's 'New Takes' about trans woman rapper and producer htmljones (Ishaani Ponniah), framed through the visual language of early-2000s television, 2010s internet aesthetics, and contemporary British culture.
