Hey I am Annelies James a local videographer, trainer and cat-obsessed curator of all sorts of creative stuff. I have run my marketing agency, 22Midnight for over 7 years and in this time worked across the world making videos, creating content, training individuals and organisations, and curating TEDx events. In fact, TEDxGosport is on the way in October and we are looking for speakers. I love to collab, so get in touch.

I am a children’s playwright, poet and community creative writing facilitator. With fifteen years experience working in the sector, I have had multiple plays for primary school age children to perform published and have had works for children and families commissioned from theatres and arts organisations. My playwrighting focus is on inclusive history that is curriculum-adjacent or locally relevant and I’m particularly passionate about amplifying the stories of marginalised women and girls from the past. I work with schools and in the community delivering a range of bespoke workshops to young people, families and to those living with dementia and their carers.
