Alexandra Crawshaw, who currently works for the BBC’s international charity BBC Media Action, while running Shaw Productions in her spare time, used her ETA 2022 to help complete post-production of the film.
‘Over Her Shoulder’ tells the story of Carrie, who must navigate an unexpected visit from her volatile partner: troubling her housemates and challenging the extent to which Carrie can ignore her intuition. It co-stars two other LEH alumnae from her year: Anastasia Martin and Florence Guy.
She describes her sense of “joy and relief” when she heard she’d received the funding from the Alumnae Advisory Group. “Almost a year’s worth of personal work and investment, and teamwork, was going to be brought to life.”
She adds: “I am deeply appreciative of the ETA. In an industry where building experience and a portfolio requires considerable financing, and opportunities for freelancers can be hard to come by, the significance of the award is not underestimated.
“Alongside this, and more importantly, I cannot help but appreciate how it's fitting to be telling this story, giving voice to female experiences through themes of intimate partner violence and the power of loving friendships, with a female-led team supported by the ETA.”
