As a filmmaker, Flora’s style combines dry humour with a fantasist arthouse sensibility that explores niche worlds and unlocks the magic of the everyday. Her work celebrates the minutiae of life, and seeks to faithfully portray the inner journeys of her characters in order to shed light on misunderstood emotions like shame or insecurity. Flora is excited to continue showcasing portraits of life rather than necessary entertainment, though she does not looking to create the boring and indulgence is not her thing.
