This multi award winning film, over 20 years in the making, is an attempt to show from the inside what it's like to be chronically ill and disabled, yet still face disbelief and doubt.
Dedicated with love and respect to all the invisibles: the millions missing.
Director's Statement
I started making movies with my father's Super 8mm sound ciné camera in my teens. Although I've made a few short films since, I've never had any formal training. My first experience of editing was splicing 8mm film, but I have since taught myself to edit in Final Cut Pro. Film-making has never been my day job nor made me any money.
25 years ago a nasty virus changed my life completely. Since then I've been unable to work or play. In spite of my motivation remaining strong throughout, I've been told by people who should know better that my illness is "all in my head".
This short film is dedicated with love and respect to all the "invisibles": the millions missing. #millionsmissing
