The film will come with a warning given its subject matter but the filmmakers also plan to link to a number of charities who specialise in information and support. “We are connected to The Miscarriage Association and we're in talks to link with a number of other charities as well. This duty of care is at the core of this project”.

Writing the script with two of his best friends in mind, Rob hopes they can deliver a film that honours and pays tribute to those who have suffered such a loss. And as well as the usual levels of research for the cast and their characters, they also have a midwife consultant to ensure authenticity for all of the medical/hospital scenes.

Rob goes on to discuss the casting process. “Inclusion and diversity have played a big part in our casting process, most importantly because it's something that all filmmakers should work hard for. I don't know how many films Sirloin will make but every casting will now be held this way. I think the industry is improving but there is still a long way to go before everyone is on a level field”.

“Grassroots, small independent filmmakers can play a massive part in this and it's something that we are extremely passionate about. We also want to show that grief affects everyone, no matter what your background is”.

Also on the production team is Sophie Black who will be executive producing, who Rob met a few years ago at the prestigious Beeston film festival.

And as we head into winter Rob and his team have launched a crowdfunder on 16^th November with the plan to still shoot early next year. Click on the IndieGoGo link below to help get the project moving:
