twitter - my goodness!

In a bid to get more people to enter our Reel Health Stories short film competition, I've started tweeting, and then googling to see the results. It's quite remarkable and more than a little worrying how messages spread through the internet like those science videos of rapidly-multiplying bacteria.

I know, I know, it's taken me a few years to catch on the obvious....

"In sickness and in health" submissions wanted for short film comp

We still need submissions for our short film competition. The theme is "in sickness and in health". Show us just what sickness, healthiness, madness and addiction mean to you and the people you love.

If you enter, you've got a pretty good chance of winning £100, or £50...and of having your film seen by none other than the fantastic Ken Loach as well as the brilliant David Morrissey.

Films will be used to help student doctors understand how their patients really feel about health, sickness and treatment.

Deadline is the end of May.

Enter here!

Reel Health Stories launched

Our short film competition about health, Reel Health Stories , has been launched.

It's being judged by director Ken Loach and actor/director David Morrissey, of Dr Who fame.

It's primarily a local competition, and has had some coverage in the press: Camden New Journal, Irish World, and UCL.

So, a while ago I asked you guys what to call a film competition I'm running at work. The idea is for people to submit short films (up to 5 mins) about their experiences of health or healthcare so that we can use them to teach medical students.

We ended up calling it Reel Health Stories and we've just made a demo video for the website
the first time I've ever been involved in making a video.
