Athena, the prodigal daughter... #athena2pathtoeden #shortfilm #diversity #representationmatters #filmmaking #actress #disabledactress #screenwriting #screenwriter #director #actor #directorofphotography #laracroftcosplay #tombraidercosplay #laracroft #tombraider

On set of #athena2pathtoeden working with the wonderful @nicolettemckeown.bsky.social for the first time! This was one of my favourite scenes that I did with her! She plays Ariela, an original character. Set in the #TombRaider universe, this will be my second short film as writer/director/producer.

Mood! After a stressful few weeks with setbacks that left me feeling discouraged, I'm just feeling super grateful. Looking to the future & feeling excited. ❤️Photo taken by @nicolettemckeown.bsky.social on set of #athena2pathtoeden last July. Me in my element, making movie magic with awesome people!

4th secret revealed for our upcoming Tomb Raider #fanfilm sequel, #athena2pathtoeden featuring @katespeak.bsky.social as Lara Croft! Someone is watching...👀 #shortfilm #diversity #representationmatters #filmmaking #actress #disabledactress #screenwriter #director #actor #laracroft #tombraider

@katespeak.bsky.social filming her final scene as #LaraCroft for our #tombraider #fanfilm sequel #athena2pathtoeden!
It's been a dream come true having Kate on this journey from the beginning and there's no-one more suited to the role!
Can't wait to finally show you all the finished film! #shortfilm

Secret found! From Lara's notes: "Mary Magdalene's followers? One of them appears to be carrying something. Could it be the same object depicted in the painting of Mary on her deathbed?" Third secret revealed for our upcoming #TombRaider #fanfilm! Happy Easter everyone! #athena2pathtoeden #laracroft

Secret #2! From Lara's notes: "Mary Magdalene on her deathbed, surrounded by her loyal followers as angels come to guide her soul to Heaven. What is that object above her? Whatever it is, it appears significant and it's connected to Mary Magdalene. I think I'm on the right track." #athena2pathtoeden

The beautiful Shap Abbey in west Cumbria, England, which serves as our key location in Southern Mexico in #athena2pathtoeden. It is also the setting for most of the film. #shortfilm #diversity #representationmatters #filmmaking #screenwriter #director #actor #actress #laracroft #tombraider #fanfilm

Kate Sykes, Nicolette McKeown, Carl Dobson and Andrew Allan on location at the ruins of Shap Abbey for the Tomb Raider fan film "Athena 2: Path to Eden". The sun is shining. Carl is lying on the ground, relaxing between takes. Kate is sat in her wheelchair, Nicolette is sitting on the ground and Andrew is taking behind the scenes photos.

I miss being on a set and I miss the warm weather! We only get about five days of it a year 😂 and don't worry, Carl is still alive lol #athena2pathtoeden #shortfilm #filmmaking #diversity #representationmatters #actress #disabledactress #screenwriter #director #laracroft #tombraider
