MAWS!

We’ve just finished an amazing project working with a group called ‘MAWS’. This small group of women have made a film about their journey with Perinatal Mental Health. The project was managed by The Mental Health Network and we facilitated the filmmaking process. They launched their film at the Perinatal Mental Health conference at the Marriot Hotel this week in front of nearly 400 people. We loved working with the Maws and hope to develop more work together in the future. They sent us a lovely statement about working with Urbancroft Films:

‘Urbancroft enabled us to make a very personal film, they gave us a base from which to flourish and help others. Within a confidential, safe and relaxing atmosphere we participated in and were empowered through workshops, discussion and the actual film making process. They helped us deliver a professional and thought provoking piece of work that we are intensely proud of. Urbancroft helped our group to bond, listened to us and put our wishes first, all the while guiding us with their technical expertise. A very positive experience – thank you.’, Maws.
