Maddie Lock Film

Maddie (they/them) is a queer, non-binary, trans filmmaker and artist born in Eastbourne and based in Brighton.

Their short film, Monsters, was officially selected for ten film festivals including Film Pride, and was an award finalist at Sunrise Film Festival and San Fransisco Arthouse Film Festival. This film explores Maddie's trans/queer identity in the current UK climate, utilising VHS childhood footage to create an experimental documentary.

Welcome to the Puppet Show: A Day at the Circus, Maddie's second short, was commissioned by Young Film Network South East at Independent Cinema Office, with support from BFI Film Academy. This film explores neurodiversity in a fun and uplifting manner, including a musical number and whimsical characters.
