Testimonials
Nice people saying nice things about working with Felicity
Ari Kerssens
“Felicity is like a warm cup of soup on a cold winter’s day. Not only fantastic to work with, but she is a pioneer in a field that is breaking the ableism that we call normal. Warm, safe and open, Felicity made sure that I as a disabled person had all my access needs met during the production.”

She is completely focused on her tasks and a wonderfully supportive and collaborative member of the team. She has a positive, fun energy on set and is liked and respected by everyone in the crew. Passionate about her craft, the dedication flows through to an investment in the successful completion of the films. I highly recommend Felicity as a member of any film crew.
