Film Review: Last Call + Q&A 2023

The Cinema In The Power Station, London 5 stars Director: Harry Holland UK rating:  Length: 19 minutes Cast: Lindsay Duncan, Tom Holland This review contains mentions of poor mental health and suicide. SPOILERS AHEAD FOR LAST CALL When I saw Harry Holland’s Instagram story advertising a screening and Q&A of his latest short that was happening on the first day of my London birthday trip I knew I had to be there. Holland is probably most well known for being Tom Holland’s younger brother but I think in the future this is sure to change as he starts to be recognised for his own artistry.  Last Call isn’t Holland’s first short but it’s bound to be the one that people talk about for years to come.

My Wish Experience with Zoella (Rays of Sunshine)

This post was originally posted in 2015, I've added a little bit to the beginning to show why wishes are so important to kids with life threatening illnesses but the story remains the same. On August the 19th in 2015 I had one of the best days of my life. I met the world famous beauty blogger Zoe Sugg, AKA Zoella.  I had this opportunity thanks to Rays of Sunshine. They are a wish granting company similar to Make A Wish and back when I was 15 Zoe Sugg was one of my idols. RoS ask for three wishes and this was one of mine, I'm grateful now that this was the one that happened as I don't know what I would have done had I met Demi Lovato (she sent me a signed photo though!) and my other wish was to go spend the day at BBC Radio 1 but they couldn't do that one either so I got to meet Zoe. Things like this make CF okay. I have friends who wanted to go to America and swim with dolphins, I've had friends who've met Niall Horan (very jealous of them!) and I ...

Review: Housemates - Sherman Theatre

Image
This review was originally posted on Adventures In Theatreland . Housemates run at the Sherman Theatre Cardiff is unfortunately over, if it ever comes back I urge you to see it! {PR Invite} Written by Shannon | Photography by Mark Douet Housemates  is a show that offers an incredible insight into the reality of disabled welsh people in the 1970s. Jim Mansell ( Peter Mooney ) volunteers at Ely Hospital to take a group of people with disabilities to the park for a day out, he assumes they’d gone before, but finds out that’s not the case. In the group is Alan Duncan ( Gareth John ), a young man with down’s syndrome and he and Jim bond over music. Alan has lived in Ely Hospital all his life and understandably, he hates it. All he wants is to live in a house and be in a band. Jim realises how badly the residents in the hospital get treated and tries to get them out. The show highlights the journey to shutting down institutionalised care and the start of supported living. The cast of Hou...
