In this truthful and informative film, as part of the Head Space series, former cancer patient Marina reminisces over the past few years and tells us about her experience with the illness and how it has changed her life, with work, family and friends being just some of the factors affected. Marina explains how her job as a chef, specialising in cake making and decorating, has been a comfort to her during hard times, never letting being ill stopping her from finishing that one last cake! We get a look at the scrummy cakes in question, as Marina shows us some of her personal favourites and proudly displays her Icing certificates. After finding out that she had a second tumour, we hear how difficult it was to take the news, when Marina explains how she felt as though her world had fallen apart as there were so many goals and dreams that hadn’t been achieved yet. She also tells us how worried she was when she feared her creative streak and passion for cakes may be subdued once treatment began and disruption set in. After showing us a masterpiece in progress i.e. Roary the racing car, Marina goes on to explain how this passion for her work and life has always been backed up by a strong support network, namely her religion, her family, friends and her spirituality.

In this honest and emotional portrayal of how watching a sibling go through cancer treatment can harbour all sorts of powerful thoughts and emotions, Tom describes, through the process of writing down his hopes and fears in a letter, how seeing his brother George being diagnosed for the third time has affected his life. Stating that sometimes he just wants to stay put and be with his friends as it gives him a feeling of normality, Tom admits to a whole host of feelings that he says he couldn’t talk about in person, as he finds it hard to find the right words at times. As well as talking about his brother, Tom explains how important his Mum’s presence in his life is and through a selection of personal and uplifting photos, documents the relationship they have as a family.

Get ready for the tour of your life as Peter “Pierre” Wilkinson, cancer patient of the year 2007 AND 8 no less, gives us a lively look at the Sheffield TCTU ward and even demonstrates some of its wonderful facilities…although you might want to look away for that bit! Grubs up in the kitchen as “Pierre” gives us a run through of its uses, whilst causing five pounds worth of damage, no thanks to camera man Bob who just can’t keep that lens straight! Peter also reminds us all that its pizza night on a Tuesday and if your lucky you might even get…wait for it…a curry. Prepare to get more than you bargained for when our wannabe presenter gives us a peek of the fancy en-suite bedrooms, where, a call from mum interrupts the “cool” flow. On to the chill out room now, where Pierre finds himself making small talk with an unusual character, who, surprisingly manages to maintain his posture amongst the chaos of keyboard playing and telling Bob off. It’s a case of “over and out” as the tour comes to an end and Mr. Pierre Wilkinson, cancer patient of the year 2007 AND 8, but now an out-patient, returns to his dressing room back at the “studio” with Bob not far behind, fetching him ice cold drinks… and altering camera angles to make him look fancy…maybe in a few years time!

Lights…camera…action! From a small town country director with just a video recorder in her hand and a couple of amateur actors by her side, comes the cinematic experience of a lifetime, a film critics are hailing “the thriller of 2008…a chilling portrayal of the effect shattered family dynamics can have on three friends…beautifully directed with a plot like no other…a five star success.” One boy. One girl. One body. A guilty secret hanging over them and a dark tale of deceit. Can they handle the pressure or will one pair of sunglasses be their unplanned demise? The question is, who has the stamina to survive? Who will crumble under the pressure? What is the secret linking their fate…and could Elmo cost them vital time? How long until it’s….GAME OVER? Coming soon to a computer screen near you. Popcorn optional.

It’s a momentous occasion as Josephine has her last ever week in hospital and leaves the dreaded drip behind for good! The princess theme continues as a fabulous trip to Disneyland Paris, as organised by Dreams Come True, sees the family having a wonderful time away from hospital at last. There’s no sign of Mickey Mouse, but a whirlwind of excitement gets those teacups spinning! As the group set off on a magical river ride, Josie reminisces about the last time she was on the exact same ride with her grandparents and what its like to be back there again. After all the rollercoaster riding you could ever wish for, both in hospital and at the theme park, life returns to normal for Josephine as she looks forward to returning to college and finally getting some normality back in her life. As her video journey comes to an end and everything is finally looking up, an extremely happy Josie says goodbye to Jimmyteens and our favourite princess rides away into the sunset!
