The nine lives of a cat

Bryan McNerney talks with some of the cast.

Me and Xenia showed the film we had been working with participants from Julian House in Norwich on wednsday. What was certain was that participants were very keen to continue what they had found within themselves. Patrick with his acting ability wants to experiment with film with using music. (He plays in a band and what they produce is of good enough quality) Joe wants to pursue further his creative writing with another piece based on a short story. Liz wants to do more acting. Eric also wants to pursue acting because of his involvement in this. Martin is going to be writing some music for this and his own films. He had already been involved in the photography stills. Liz and Angie want to crate more for another film.
So all in all some great results. The film itself is an achievement but is also a stepping stone in realising within themselves what is possible.
So insearch for more funding...

The power of the voice

Week 2 into the Julin Housing film project "The Nine Lives of the Cat". Recording drama and vocal activites reduced shaking in atleast one participant who didn't take their medication. It was noticibly reduced by the fourth and final successful vocal recording.

Brain Storming

This workshop was a brain storming session for the participants from the Julian Housing project in Norwich. The individuals helped by the Julian Housing project are people with enduring mental health issues who are supported into appropriate accommodation. In the next six weeks Xenia Horne, Liz and myself are enabling them to make a film and in this first session yesterday they had to decide what their film will be about.
