Love is Free was featured on Director’s Notes:
**
Hannah was chosen as one of Primetime’s 2023 Graduates to Watch - “With Gossip I wanted to tell a story of solidarity and draw a line between the witch trials and the ongoing struggle for reproductive justice and women's control over their bodies. Naming the film Gossip, a word that changed from meaning friendship to one of denigration and ridicule, highlights the psychological attack as well as the direct violence. The gossip we formed of both professional actors and midwives became not only the heart of the film you see but the entire filmmaking process."
**
GOSSIP featured in Director’s Notes - “Renton’s short does an excellent job of showcasing the important relationship mothers share with midwives during labour whilst also depicting the shadowy looming male presence that seeks to disrupt it. A prescient and beautifully rendered portrayal of patriarchal subjugation.”
