Hayley Repton

I'm a filmmaker based in Manchester, UK. In April 2019 I was diagnosed with coeliac disease. The day I was told, I felt like I’d been slapped around the face with a wet fish. I immediately knew that I just had to put my coeliac diagnosis to good use and try to raise as much awareness as possible by making a short film! The aim is to help the people with celiac disease that sometimes feel misunderstood by making something which people without the disease can connect with in an insightful and enjoyable way.  

The character, a newly diagnosed coeliac, has to say goodbye to all things gluten and embark on lifestyle change which takes her on a turbulent journey. The short film 'glutened' highlights the social aspect and the importance of taking cross-contamination seriously. More info about me is at linkedin and instagram.
