Imeldha’s passion is creating and producing stories based on the emotional intricacies of people. With a background in fashion production, she curates visually moving images based on emotions and strives to empower, dissect and celebrate the underprivileged person.

Imeldha runs production company Haute Honnah with Michael Honnah.

Haute Honnah: Haute Honnah is a British-based production company striving to create organic stories that represent British-bred subcultures. Founded in 2019, Haute Honnah aims to vocalise the underrepresented misfit. As a homegrown powerhouse, using backgrounds in theatre, fashion and music, Haute Honnah cultivates original feature films, TV series and art house projects. We believe in the liberation of the marginalised in the media and the humanisation of minorities across all domains. Haute Honnah strives to create stories that do just that. It is time for change, complexity and a shift in representation… not just on screen but in story.
