Special Short Film Presentation

orangetim — Sat, 16 May 2009 04:19:47 +0000

A special presentation of a short film entitled “Simply The Best” which was shot on location at my work place and stars yours truly. Special thanks go to Sue Taggart who has kindly given permission for her film to be released for your viewing.

To help celebrate International Nurses’ Day 2009, the New South Wales Nurses’ Association (NSWNA) launched the Inaugural Nurses Short Film Festival. Some 20 or so short films were submitted from hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and so on from around the state. When my work colleauge Sue Taggart approached me and asked if I would be interested in helping out, I could hardly refuse. So after literally doing a double shift to accomodate filming, myself and half a dozen fellow nurses along with a very keen & enthusiastic former patient, Sue vision became a short film reality. Please enjoy this fun insight into burns nursing.
