SHORT FILM   NEW PROJECT

Choose Your Weapon


“A SMART, SHARP ACTION COMEDY WITH SOMETHING TO SAY"

Helen O’Hara, film journalist and author of Women vs Hollywood.

ABOUT THE FILM

All Mummy has to do is take a walk to the supermarket to buy some milk. But even the suggestion of this outing with Baby triggers her most intense and horrific fears.  Choose Your Weapon is a high octane step-by-step guide into overcoming postnatal anxiety, and to kicking your over-active imagination in the ass.

“DreamMore team up with award winning director/ writer Gabriela Staniszewska”

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

I wrote Choose Your Weapon as a direct response to my own experiences of postnatal anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I had a lot of trouble with them when my daughter was born and finally found that using lucid dreaming techniques helped me work my way through them. When a friend of a friend was going through the same thing I found myself floundering whilst trying to explain it… and thus Choose Your Weapon was born. In this way I feel it is more of a Public Service Announcement than a script and I hope it can help other new mothers when they are having a tough time.
