Eden - A film about cancer

'Eden: a semi-fictitious cerebral, sharp-tongued, short about a sassy twenty-year-old mum to be, whose world comes to a standstill when her mother is diagnosed with terminal Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer.

Writer and Director Nikolai Deaves portrays an intimately exhaustive, visual rendering of his own mothers cancer and abrupt death in 2009 in order to write the original screenplay Eden. Additionally managing to sensitively and poetically illustrate the taboo dichotomy between the mundane yet extraordinary spectacle of watching life and humanity slowly dying; this perfectly narrated by Eden Caulfield (Bekah Sloan) in her brazen philosophical voiceovers.'

" I would like to thank all the amazing cast and crew who were a part of this short film, it really means a lot to have been able to work with such passionate and wonderful people."
