Michael Lee Richardson

Exuberant Jackie loves sweets, trying on Mum's clothes and admiring the girl next door Tegan from the bedroom window. Jackie adores Tegan and will do anything to get close to her. Even, to health-conscious Mum Carol's surprise, ask for a trampoline. Just Jackie is a bubblegum pop tale of friendship, acceptance - and sweeties.

When Tariq’s older brother arrives from Egypt - the first time he’s seen him since he came to the UK and since his transition - he’s forced to confront his complicated feelings about family. Denise, his friend, a fellow trans refugee and teammate, shares her own story about friends and family. A film about the family we're born into and the families we make from our friends.

Writer and filmmaker Michael Lee Richardson revisits a childhood favourite film and finds a secret hidden inside all along. Part biography, part personal essay, No Place Like Home blends 80s nostalgia and camp aesthetics to reclaim the narrative of North East queer icon, Michael Sundin.

A queer reimagining of the working men’s club. A dance-powered journey through space and time.
