This year has been amazing year. So many great this have happened not only to us but for our clients. Winning this entry is somewhat a bitter-sweet victory as the story itself is tinged with sadness. My greatest thanks to the family who allowed us to come into their lives to create this magical piece.
“Once upon a time, a little boy came into the world with a beautiful smile that lit up the world.
This is a true life story of a little boy who at 6 months of age was diagnosed with leukemia. His battle endured for some time and in the new year of 2011 things were looking promising. Life should be lived to the fullest. Life is unpredictable – it may not be fair and curve balls can get thrown out of nowhere.
As we filmed this family, the appreciation of living life and enjoying the simple things was something that often I know many including ourselves, take for granted. Vaughan and his family are reminders to enjoy every second that is before us – life is too precious not to.
My sincere gratitude to Ffyona & Patrick from pass-the-parcel for offering their talents and making a day even more beautiful. Thank you also to Myrooren Wimalendra from the Royal Children’s hospital for giving up his time to chat with us. And above all, thank you to the family of Vaughan for allowing us to share their journey and re-tell their story.”
