A short film with big impact.

I wrote and directed this children’s short to help spread stroke awareness.

A stroke awareness campaign saving lives.

While working at Lucan, I was tasked with writing and directing a short film for Fast Heroes, introducing a new addition to the Fast Team.

The story follows a little girl who is able to teach her grandparents how to identify a stroke and what to do, through the use of fun games and activities.

The campaign has been a raging success across the world with reports of actual lives being saved in the process.
