PS. Here is some information about it
Overload’, directed by Ivan Riches, is a film about how modern day living in South London affects people’s senses; sight, hearing, taste, touch, thought processes, feelings and memories. The film shows people’s accounts of mild to severe effects of overload, what triggers it, how it affects their lives, how it makes them feel and what they do to cope with it.
“I am really impressed with the creativity and courage shown by the company that has both shared very personal and difficult memories, and learnt important new skills in film making and editing as part of the production process for “Overload”. Make no mistake participants have shown real courage in sharing their personal struggles with overload. They have done so in order to challenge the stigma attached still to ‘mental illness’, and to empower others who experience overload to feel they are not alone, and can find a voice through creativity”.
David Savill (Artistic Director, Age Exchange)
‘Overload’ is part of Hearts and Minds, a three year creative arts and reminiscence programme for people who use mental health services in South London. The programme was created by Age Exchange, working in partnership with The South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Throughout three years of activity Age Exchange is developing projects in creative care, working across Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Croydon. www.age-exchange.org.uk <http://www.age-exchange.org.uk>
