Storytelling has always been a core part of my being, so when the opportunity to make Still Blue with my colleagues came I was thrilled at the chance to create something that is 'beyond our years'; a mature story with a deep connection to familial love, through care. Part of me hopes that 'thrill' doesn't disappear, and instead guides me in both passion and responsibility in my work.

'Still Blue' tells the story of an attentive middle-aged man, William Daihbis, visiting his Mother in an elderly care Dementia unit over the course of her final year of life. The film explores the challenges that a disease like Alzheimer's has on what was once a tight-knit family of two and denotes the themes of whether or not it's worth the hardship/stress that it takes to continue the relationship.
