Check out new video short 'Lawless': a collaborative project exploring the everyday experiences of Tilly Lawless, a sex worker currently active within Sydney’s decriminalised sex industry.

Directed by Ellen Pearson, the documentary features spoken word and photography from Tilly herself, welcoming the viewer into her world as a confidant, rather than as a voyeur.

'Lawless' was originally commissioned by Channel 4 for First Acts: a video series celebrating England's most exciting 16 - 24 year-old artists and filmmakers, produced in partnership with the Arts Council England.
