Dementia UK launches a three-minute film ‘Together Again’ that highlights the specialist one to one support its Admiral Nurses deliver to people living with dementia.
The design and direction of the film was led by Reuben McNaughton from Passion Pictures.
Created by Arthur London and produced by Royle Productions, the highly emotive animated film brings to life how an Admiral Nurse can provide vital support. A husband and wife are forced apart by an ocean. The powerful metaphor depicts how the Admiral Nurse helps the couple reconnect using techniques such as memory triggers and sensory recall. We see the shipwrecked husband navigating a stormy sea to reach his wife, who is living with dementia.
GOLDSTEIN composed the soundtrack for this beautiful and important piece of work from Royle Productions, Passion Pictures and Arthur London.
CEO and Chief Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, Dr Hilda Hayo said: “We are excited about ‘Together Again’, and are ambitious for what we hope this film achieves. We want people who are looking after someone with dementia to know that there is specialist advice and support out there for them, in the form of Admiral Nurses.
“Nobody should have to face dementia alone. The Admiral Nurse in the film is able to bring the couple in the film together again for a few precious moments, through the specialist skills they use to keep families connected to their relative with dementia.”
