Miss Solo
Miss Solo is a moving coming-of-age drama about Rose, a mixed Scottish-Japanese woman, who has spent a lifetime building other people’s dreams at the expense of her own. When a virtual world she created awakens her long-buried desire to perform on Broadway, her carefully ordered life begins to unravel as she embarks on a mid-life renaissance to give it one last chance.
Blending magical realism with heart, Miss Solo is about the timeless truth that it’s never too late to become who you were always meant to be.

Climate Storytelling
Within the arts, storytelling is a key part of our creative expression. We create stories to reflect the world we live in. To capture the human experience. To put a spotlight on what matters to us. We have the same potential with climate change.
Yet one of the greatest priorities of our time remains mostly absent in current culture. This booklet was created to encourage creatives to use the power of stories to inspire climate action.
