I lost my father, George De Lacey, to brain tumour, and my dear friend Carolyn Shine to appendiceal cancer in 2012. They were diagnosed the same weekend and died within nine weeks of each other. Through the amazing examples set by my father's wife, Jenny De Lacey, and Carolyn's partner Tara Winkler, I learned what it means to be a carer. It all got me thinking of the sudden loss in my twenties of my brother Rowen Munday (stepbrother, really, but we adopted each other). Out of the alchemy of all of that, came this. Thanks to my friend Abigail Sie of Songzu for the sound, production, wrangling of actors, co-editing and for generally making it happen.
