Go Make Memories

Synopsis

GO MAKE MEMORIES is a short film which hopes to raise awareness of the ultra-rare and devastating group of genetic conditions, Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD).

The experiences of the individuals and families affected by NPD takes centre stage in this production, which uses a mixture of live action and animation to explore the impact this rare condition has on those affected by it. The film follows the deterioration of the child and the subsequent emotional turmoil that comes hand in hand with such a diagnosis...especially when this is followed up with the suggestion by the family's doctor to simply, "Go Make Memories"...
