I wake up thinking about this film and I go to sleep thinking about this film. That’s how important it’s to me.

This is the face of a producer who had 2 successful financing meetings last week. For all the moments my mind spends in a chaotic mess of questions, this win feels good. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions #thenewhopestudio
Producer Annelies is sitting in a lavender sofa. She is wearing a black top and a white blazer with thin grey stripes. Her head leans against her right arm which rests on the sofa’s side. She wears a silver watch and silver hoop earrings. Her hair is pulled back. She smiles towards the camera.

As Europe is dealing with a heatwave, I can’t help but want to be where Katy is. In a cool pool, surrounded by the shade of olive trees and the comforting summer sound of chirping cicadas.

Who wants to be here? This is our set. This is where Katy’s story will come to life. This is where we will work to make an encouraging and touching film about coming to terms with our parents’ choices in their aging era.

Best memory of your childhood or teenage summer holidays? In When She Goes, Katy’s family’s holiday home is a place of comfort, memories, joy and familiarity. Over the years, as Katy grew from child to teen to young adult and eventually to a woman in her late 30s, the house has been her North star.

Am I fully digital as a film producer? Nearly Nothing beats a neat line of post-its stuck to my desk with important things that cannot be

Having choices and having the right to choose is a privilege. Making choices for ourselves might not be difficult, but accepting those of others, when they don’t align with our own beliefs or wishes is. Yet, if we want to have the freedom to choose we should extend that freedom to others.

Making a film requires: + People with skills + Equipment for those people with skills All of this costs money if you want everyone to get paid. And we want everyone to get paid because we all have bills to pay and lives to lead.

What I want for my company Her Words Productions: Focusing on female filmmakers, recognising their worth and talent and keeping them in the industry. Too much talent gets lost due to the current working conditions not being compatible with care work that still predominantly falls on women.
Annnelies is standing in front of a film festival backdrop. She has a black lace top and black flowing trousers. She has her right hand on her hip and her left arm hangs beside her body. Her head is tilted towards the photographer and she is smiling.

What does a hammock have to do with aging parents? Those with aging parents know that the signs are both obvious and subtle. The subtle ones come first and it takes us a while to see what is happening. When these things add up, we see the reality of parents growing old. So what about the hammock?

Her Word Productions: Because Her words matter. Because taking a risk means diving in head first. Because women are braver than we get credit for. Because we have stories to tell that are worth being heard. #herwordsproductions #herwordsmatter #filmmaker

Location supports the story. Katy’s story is set at the family’s holiday villa in Spain, a house that has been in the family for decades and is full of memories. This place offers comfort and familiarity.
A Spanish summer, blue skies and an inviting pool full of cool water. A hammock stands next to the pool in the shade of a lush olive tree. This invites us to relax and slow down.

When She Goes - pitch deck inspiration In the next weeks and months, our biggest challenge will be to secure the remaining funds needed to complete this project. This is where a pitch deck comes into play.
A mood board as inspiration for the When She Goes pitch deck. Photos and text show the themes and tone: aging, assisted dying, body autonomy, family, holiday vibes, birthday celebrations, growing up, growing old(er).

Introducing our writer Gemma Reynolds. When She Goes is her story, inspired by her experiences and thoughts on aging parents, body autonomy and assisted dying. Told with lightness and carefully placed humour she gives the audience space for consideration and conversation. Find out more on IMDb.

Talking about aging and death with our parents is difficult. In our film, When She Goes, we join a family as they discuss body autonamy, assisted dying and who gets to decide. We will invite our audience to consider every one’s position and then find their own. #dyingwithdignity #indieshortfilm

What would you do if your mother tells you she’s signed up for an assisted dying clinic even though she is still very fit and healthy? When She Goes is a short film that explores exactly that. Follow our journey. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions

Presenting: Her Words Productions. Big news! I founded my very own film production company right here in Berlin (DE). Why? Because I wanted to combine my love for film and my love for spreadsheets. And because there is a script that landed in my lap some time ago that just wouldn’t let me go.

Working conditions for my current short film project are more than acceptable 😎. Brainstorming under olive trees with crickets chirping just hits different. Excited about what’s to come. #shortfilm #filmproducer #whenshegoesfilm
