You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

My short film, Scrubber, in 2011. At that time in my life it seemed easier to pay for it myself than to apply for funds.

Question Which moment embarrassed you most? Failure & regret
I have a deep-rooted fear of being in trouble. I once tried to sneak into the back of a photography exhibition with my husband when one of our kids was in a pushchair. We’d arrived late and he suggested we go in through the gift shop and see the last room. As we poked our heads round the door, the security guard noticed us. I shouted, “That man’s trying to get in!”, then ran away.
