Leading Women: Event Wrap up
What a fabulous night!
We heard from Renée Brack, who shared her story of why she made her award-winning documentary Ticketyboo, which explores the impact that her father’s dementia had on her. We learned about how she is now raising funds to support people living with dementia - an incredible project which will improve the lives of many people.
Keep scrolling for a note from Renée about how you can support the project, as well as photos from the night.
A Note From our Speaker Renée Brack…
Information About the Film: Ticketyboo
Ticketyboo is about art, dementia and staying connected to people we love living with a diagnosis. It explores my personal story with dad’s Alzheimer’s - what I got wrong, what I learned to get right. It also features interviews with Ita Buttrose, Kate Swaffer, Professor Peter Gonski plus leading journalists Anne Connolly and Rick Morton.
Media commentary: “really affecting” - “a lot of things I didn’t expect” - "editing is masterful” - “very brave”. It’s also been described by media as ‘heartwarming and heart-wrenching in equal measure’. Kerrie O’Brien of The Age and SMH said it was “a very timely film”.
The premiere on July 30 at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival was a sell-out and received a standing ovation.
We’ve begun our international festival run and attained 10+ official selection laurels as well award wins including Best Documentary (Stockholm Film Festival) and Best Australian documentary (Amsterdam Film Festival) with more to follow.
How to Book a Community Screening
We’re also keen for private screenings where local groups can license the film and raise funds for initiatives as well as donate to our impact campaign. Some of the attendees may want to host a screening or know an organisation that would like to and we can supply a host of promotional assets:
a film poster with film laurels / awards
stills from the film
trailer of the film
digital guide to make your screening a success + a post-film Q&A outline
And September is World Alzheimer’s Month!
A license is $350 for a single private screening or $550 for multiple private screenings.
