“Holly’s direction is very truthful and she always gives fantastic feedback on your performance. She will direct you in a way that brings out the best in you.”
KANE HEADLEY-CUMMINGS – ACTOR
“Possessing a clear and strong creative vision comes naturally to Holly, and she has the rare talent of being able to effectively bridge the gap between a vision and practically realising it. She always has an eye on fairness, equality, and empowering those that might not otherwise have the means to tell their story.”
CHRIS WHYLD – DIRECTOR OF DRAMA, WESTMINSTER SCHOOL
“In her role as script consultant/editor on my short film This Time Next/Last Year, Holly worked with me to develop the script and her input was invaluable. She put so much careful thought and heart into its’ development whilst also remaining completely respectful of and open to my opinions. Without her guidance, the script wouldn’t have reached the really lovely place it ended up.“
SOPHIE ASH – WRITER/ACTOR
As a director, Holly always brings dynamic, creative and efficient concepts and ideas to the table, her vision is always clear and her collaborative spirit makes the process easy and streamlined. I love the energy, enthusiasm, level headedness and precision Holly brings to each project.
IRENE GOMEZ-EMILSSON – CINEMATOGRAPHER
I chose Holly to direct my short film, This Time Next/Last Year, after witnessing her incredible work coaching actors at The Reel Scene. Her directing style is raw, honest, and full of heart. She brings a rare blend of empathy, precision, and intuition to every moment—creating a space where actors feel genuinely seen and supported.
As an actor herself, she communicates with clarity and care, always drawing out the truth in a performance. Beyond her talent, Holly is simply a joy to be around—grounded, inspiring, and endlessly passionate about the work. I couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator.
