A short film showing what life is like with Tourettes Syndrome, both internally & externally.

A short summary of my project

I'm raising £1,500 to make a film about my experiences with Tourettes Syndrome. This will be shown from my point of view (half of the scenes take place inside my own head) and from the POV of everyone else (who seem to find me very annoying). All of the research I have done suggests that this is the first time TS has been brought to the foreground in cinema, although given the stigma attached to the condition it's almost certain that many successful film makers have had it and kept it secret.

Tourettes Action UK have been notified about the project and they are keen to help with the transportation costs.

Where will the money go?

The film has been costed (and independently checked) as follows

  • Hostelry - £190
  • Catering & Laundry - £85
  • Wardrobe (Purchase & Rental) - £100
  • Props (Purchase) - £35
  • Printing (scripts & props)- £25
  • Trains (from London) - £700
  • Travel Expenses (local) - £200
  • Petrol (for Drivers) - £65
  • Contingency - £100
  • TOTAL - £1,500
