It’s not just about investing time & money in a project, it’s about keeping its spirit alive and letting it omit its energy. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions #thenewhopestudio

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.

But could I deal with Katy’s mom’s news? In my previous posts, you can find out more about what this news is. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions #thenewhopestudio

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.

As we join her there, to celebrate her mother’s 70th, we see that even these places that ground us have a tendency to evolve. And we don’t really notice it until we are confronted with the aging of our parents. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions

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.

- They don’t require power. - They don’t require updates. - They offer an instant overview at a mere glance. - Their postion in the line can be adjusted within a second. - They don’t put red, squiggly lines under words I missspelled I’m right, right?

Based on people’s previous experiences on other productions I will be reviewing the BUDGET. Sure we could do this cheaply, but I want everyone on this film to be paid and taken care of. I am about to start working on our crowd-FUND-ing campaign and am taking meetings with private funders.

June Update: Where are we now? We have most of the TEAM in place and had a big meeting today to discuss possible challenges with camera and sound.

It also reflects on how difficult it can be to accept those choices when it means the inevitable loss of a parent or loved one. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions #thenewhopestudio

When She Goes talks about claiming choice for ourselves. It discusses body autonomy, self determination and the right to choose how we want to die.

Annelies Morlion @anneliesmorlion.com · 28/05/2026

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.

This week, we started pitching to potential financial contributors. This isn’t easy. It requires confidence, focus and determination, because most people say no. But every no, gets us closer to a yes and that’s what matters.

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.

Opening up space for women who are middle-aged and older and presenting them outside of stereotypes. We are interesting and worth your time. Rewriting the rule book with more focus on wellbeing at work, stepping away from exhaustion, burnout and unsustainable practices.

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.

Families have routines. Routines are like comfort blankets. When the routine changes, it’s like the blanket is ripped off and we feel cold. In When She Goes, the hammock is one of Katy’s comfort blankets. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions

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?

This is important to the story. Putting the family in this environment allows us to discuss the heavy subject of assisted dying while offering a warm and comforting space that makes them, and us, feel safe. #WhenSheGoes #Dyingwithdignity #dignityindying #indieshortfilm #herwordsproductions

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).

When Katy arrives at the family’s holiday villa in Spain to celebrate her mother’s 70th birthday, she’s looking forward to sun, cava and pool time. Yet, when a healthy Sue announces she’s signed up to an assisted dying clinic, Katy must decide if she can accept and respect her mother’s choice.

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.
