Short Film update

[BaronC]

After seeing the film, my local news station are giving me a call this morning to interview me about all things brain injury. I'm making bullet point notes to refer to as I'm typing this.

Well, at least a few folks will see it now...

Congratulations well done fantastic news. Excellent to have achieved that and I loved the powerful way the messages were deliverd - so succinctly and clearly. Good luck (p.s. Can I have your autograph ha ha )

They rang, I spoke at length, detailing my situation, the accident, my health, the hidden disability aspect of brain injury and I even launched into a political rant at the DWP at one point. It was all recorded, details were taken and the call ended. My gut instinct is that I'll never hear from them again, but watch this space...

What makes you think that ; what were their parting words ?

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

You know when you just have that feeling, THAT feeling.

Firstly, they were thirty minutes late calling. We chatted, recorded, etc. There was no idea of what next, no explanation, nothing, the chat just died away really as details were taken. I just sensed no urgency really. I may be wrong, we'll see

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

Yeah I get it...................the courtesy call thing. Have you actually asked them straight out though if they'd consider airing it ?

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

In short, I've sent the film out to Lord knows how many organisations and the station contacted me asking for an interview...
