Small steps
2016, 15 minutes
After a young woman suffers a miscarriage, she tries to continue her day as if nothing had happened.
Blank Space (working title) follows a middle aged woman, Isobel, as she experiences the first 24 hours after losing her child. It illustrates how relationships with friends, family and her partner are put under strain and the feeling of isolation. This film also targets the way in which mothers who have experienced pregnancy loss feel guilty, ashamed and depressed. This film will attempt to normalise verbalising feelings about miscarriage to encourage support for mothers who have recently lost a child.
