ABOUT

Capturing the essence of hospice care is no easy task. We knew our approach had to be authentic, emotional and impactful.

The idea was to create a film based around a poem, with the sound track being performed by a choir and featuring real people who had been through the Phyllis Tuckwell journey.

For the film to be authentic, we felt that the words of the poem had to come from the heart, building from the original poem by a bereaved husband, that PT had published previously, we adapted the words to make it appropriate to a shorter film format.

The emotion would come from a mix of bereaved relatives speaking the words of the poem and the talents of the Farnham Rock Choir performing a rendition of Beyonce’s song “Halo”.

All the way through filming we took great care and sensitivity when filming with the relatives. We filmed over four days in a variety of locations that we felt would add further impact to the film.
