I'm a writer and filmmaker, always grateful for the Stage32 community as a place to learn and share with talented people. Years of nurturing has seen my latest film land on the Show&Tell virtual platform meaning anyone anywhere in the world can see Ticketyboo from Sep 7 to Sep 30 in World Alzheimer's Month.

Ticketyboo is a documentary about art, dementia and learning how to have healthy, happy interactions with a loved one living with a dementia diagnosis. Hope you can see and share the film with people who need it most.
Now, I'm onto new developing new projects as a writer / producer with great guidance from Stage32. Thank you!

Always interact a physician/nutritionist, though below are some holistic aspects that could be helpful in regard to brain health if any of these interests anyone:

Renée Brack Congratulations, Renée on your success. My Mum has Alzheimer's Disease and we are working through it together. I've been working with the UK Social Services to make sure she has the best care to make her safe at home.
As Mum and her father had Alzheimer's, I'm now lobbying my doctor's surgery to have the genetic tests done, to see if I have the gene. However, sadly, they don't see it as a priority. Take care, Geoff

Thank you Sille, Maurice, Curt, Geoff, Robin, Ty and John for your kind comments. They mean a lot. Fundraising during the first Covid lockdown presented challenges based on the traditional and assumed way of doing business. I turned them into positives and had many more 20 minute pitch meetings because of lockdown, raising more money than anticipated in a shorter amount of time. Shooting during covid also had challenges but doing post in the 2nd Australian lockdown was a gift - 9 months - 3 editors - to really nut out story beats in the narrative and the emotional journey for the audience. It was like an extended incubation period that really helped me understand the story being conveyed and themes explored. Time is a luxury.

Ty Strange - I've been invited to develop a military feature inspired by some real life experiences I had spending a month in the Middle East, 2007. I was given a backstage pass to the front line of the biggest war of my generation. What I saw and heard about the machinations of war and the personal stories of soldiers - the excess of money invested - the little joys and monumental misery - so much to distill and turn into a narrative. The film will have a female protagonist.
