Synopsis

An animated short film on "invisible conditions" and the experiences of those affected – it features the voices of Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Outlander), Isy Suttie (Peep Show, Man Down, Damned), Weruche Opia (I May Destroy You, Bad Education, Sliced), and members and friends of the NPUK/INPDA community.
This project has been developed closely with the charity's community in order to illustrate the many emotions and challenges an individual with an invisible condition can face on a daily basis. By using a mixture of animation, photography, and narrated lines read by stars from both outside and inside of our community, the film hopes to raise awareness of both Niemann-Pick disease(s) and invisible conditions more broadly...as "not all that you can see, is everything that is there"…and there are far more similarities than differences when it comes to the lived experiences of those affected by rare, genetic and/or invisible conditions.
