After being invited to a fantastic event held in the Soho Hotel, hosted by Bumble and WDW marketing, Zebee was introduced to the Female Film Force, an incredible competition supporting female film directors in a male-dominated field. The program allows filmmakers from all over the United Kingdom & Ireland to pitch their ideas to a panel of experts. If chosen they would receive £20,000 to create a short film in a few months with some guidance and mentoring. This is where we met Georgie, a young ambitious entrepreneur with a flair for travel documentaries and Japanese culture.
‘I always say I’m not just mixed race, I’m bicultural. I feel Japanese and English.’

Japan has become a hot spot for Western tourism in recent years. It is a country that keeps its history and past very close to its heart but is also viewed as super hyper-modern.
After working on a documentary for the BBC ‘Ryan Gander: The Idea of Japan’ Georgie got to see the Japanese culture in a variety of ways from meeting ASIMO the robot, ‘The World's Most Advanced Humanoid Robot’, through to bonding in the Pacific depths with the unique and inspiring Ama Divers. The Ama divers dive without scuba gear or air tanks to search for pearls, sea urchins and Japanese lobsters, and Ise Ebi, and it's said they wear white to ward off sharks.
‘Cut from the BBC documentary this really upset me.‘
