The mum of three is also a prolific filmmaker and screenwriter, having directed two short films, Broken and Rifts, as well as a slew of TV documentaries, music videos and commercials.

Her MA graduation short, Rifts, won awards in festivals across the world, including the European Commissioned Euromedcafe International Short Film Competition. The 2004 film revolves around the rivalry between two London kebab owners; one Greek, one Turkish. As their price war comes to a head, one of them is forced to save the other’s life, leading them to realize the futility of their rift.
Vicki’s follow up film, Broken, was released in 2007. Likewise a well received film, the 1968-set film tells the story of a 14-year-old girl who visits her father in London after four years apart, only to discover he’s been having an affair. Infuriated, she then devises a plan to stop his philandering ways, to devastating consequences.
Vicki’s work often deals with themes of family and loyalty. Though Vicki’s work has since taken a more family-friendly route, she retains her indelible eye for unique stories and down-to-earth flair.
Vicki lives with her husband Peter and their three kids, Oliver, Alexander, and Florence in Yorkshire, England. The family makes frequent appearances with her on TV and online.
