Heartfelt short film to be premiered next week

24 September 2020 24 September 2020 | Support

Earlier this year Somerset-based production company Autumn Films chose Brain Tumour Support as their charity of the year to offer their services for free in making a short film to raise awareness of the life-changing impact of brain tumours and the need for the specialist support we provide.

Filmmaker Martin Hill worked with brain tumour survivor Jane Edwards to tell her story of how support enabled her to rebuild her life following her brain tumour diagnosis and surgery.

From this collaboration has come a powerful and moving four-minute film and we are delighted to announce that we will be sharing it publicly for the first time on Thursday 1 October via a Facebook premiere at 8 pm.

Look out for further details, and join us next week to watch ‘Jane’s Story’ together.
