Production Diary and Fundraising progress

May saw the launch of our Understanding Dementia project – which is designed to explain and promote the work of the dementia/Alzheimer’s charity SPECAL.

Our aim is to produce a number of informational and inspirational documentary-style films for training and promotion, where carers talk about their varied experiences and explain the benefits to carers of understanding and following SPECAL’s life enhancing, even life saving advice.

We need to raise a minimum of fifteen thousand pounds to make the documentary film, plus versions for training and promotion.

This is a small, underfunded but extremely important charity – their work is uniquely successful in the field of understanding and coping with dementia.

So, please have a look at the ‘about’ page and then go to the ‘pledge’ page to make your pledge.

First day in the can!

We had a last minute change of plan to the shooting schedule and yesterday filmed a wonderful interview with Pippa, whose sister has early onset dementia. Her love for her sister and her enthusiasm for SPECAL and what it has given her and Louise shines through in the footage and we are thrilled with the result.

We will post clips and stills as soon as we can. NB** As we are now in production and haven’t yet reached our target budget, please can I ask everyone to check their lottery numbers and behind the sofa cushions for any spare money and please pledge now… 😉

We had hoped…

So, we’re putting together a new schedule – watch this space…
