Still Life - 4 Stories, Many Drugs (Documentary Trailer)

Still Life (Documentary Trailer) (DVCAM & miniDV) (2005) from M.Y Films on Vimeo.



Here's a trailer for a 40 min documentary that I filmed at HMP Wayland.
I spoke to 4 inmates who recounted their life stories and their experiences with drugs.

The aim of the project was to raise awareness on substance abuse and to give young people a better understanding about addiction through true-life experiences and steering clear of a "Just say no" approach.

To this day, Still Life still remains one of my projects that I'm most proud of.

The full length documentary, background info on the project and an article on the project in The Guardian can be found here: http://m-yfilms.blogspot.com/2010/03/still-life.html
