On Thursday 12th March we saw Still Loved for the first time on a big screen, with an invited film industry audience as a test screening to get feedback before we picture lock and proceed to our on line post production.
It was a nerve wrecking day for us. Our Director Debbie Howard, Producers Colin Pons and Polly Perkins and Assistant Producer Emily Axon came to London to get prepared. We were joined by our lovely volunteer Esther Bowell. We got our food prepared, taking over the kitchen at Molinare...we're northerners....we have to make sure we've got our food sorted!
We were then joined by our Editor, Joby Gee, Exec Producer Lucy Paul, our DoP Emma Dalesman and the wonderful Tom Rogers and his team from Molinare. Our invited guests, which included several of our sponsors, some of whom have also lived with baby loss in their families and understand the subject matter of Still Loved from a personal experience, as well as many industry professionals who began to arrive for pre drinks in the bar.
We then moved into the beautiful Molinare cinema where our Director Debbie gave an introduction to Still Loved and talked about whey she had made the film and what stage we are at with it now.
We then shared the film for the first time. It's almost at picture lock, but no sound mix has been done, no grade, and the music was all temporary/guide tracks until we start working on the score.
It was fantastic to sit back and watch it on a big screen. We were extremely proud of the work we've done so far and the film was incredibly well received. We had amazing feedback from our audience at our post screening drinks. Our audience found the film sensitive, moving, informative and very engaging.
"Watching this film embodies, in a way, the emotion of losing a child."

"It’s beautifully put together and paced perfectly."

We had a very positive response from TV broadcasters and will now follow up with meetings over the next couple of weeks as we complete the rest of the post production process to get to the finished film.
Exciting times ahead! Big thanks once again to everyone that has helped to get us to this stage - so nearly there now!
