Support Bali Padda

I've spent my career moving between screen and stage — directing, producing, acting, and occasionally running the boring-but-necessary side of things as a screen executive. From All Her Fault to Optics to stepping into stage directing with Guards at the Taj, what drives me is the same thing every time: stories that don't get made unless someone stubborn enough decides to make them.

Right now, through Little Goat Arts & Entertainment, I'm developing new work across theatre and screen. Funding for new, ambitious work is hard to come by through the usual channels — grants are competitive, slow, and often can't cover the early, unglamorous stages: research trips, script development, the work that happens long before anyone sees a stage or a screen.

That's where support here makes a real difference. If you buy me a coffee, you're helping fund exactly that groundwork — the part that has to happen before anything gets greenlit. I'll keep you posted on where it goes.
