Help the Aged ‘What do you see?’

One day, my mother shared with me a poem written by an old lady that was only discovered after her death.

The poem moved me greatly and stayed with me.

I had the idea to make it into a film for an old people’s charity and so began a 2-year passion project.

Malcolm Venville shot this film for an extremely grateful Help the Aged client.

Dame Helen Mirren read the poem and I flew to New York to meet Sir Anthony Hopkins who delivered the final voiceover.

We launched the film at BAFTA and it achieved wonderful PR for the charity.
