Short Film Pitch

The aging population are the most serious issue facing the NHS today… and that includes an increase of suffers of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Remembering Jean is a heart-tending exploration of these issues on a very personal level based on the experiences of the writer and director. It is primarily targeted at audiences for short films who attend independent cinemas aged 18-35 but the subject matter can appeal to and affect anybody. I think it would be shown in the Tyneside independent cinema and also online on the film’s website as this is a popular way of distributing and exhibiting short films. There’s also a possibility that it will be shown in schools for educational purposes. The unique selling point of remembering jean is a drama documentary inspired by true events and the tag line is ‘memory is all we are’.
