Production history

Filmmaker and Media Artist Richard Urbanski came together with Gudrun Jones, Art Therapist at Y Filltir Sgwâr to develop the storytelling project From Home to Hospital. What you see is a collection of stories that have been produced for this website and a pilot DVD. This is very much a first stage in a journey and we are developing the storytelling project to include more contributions from patients and their families. We are currently seeking funding to continue From Home to Hospital and would welcome support from potential collaborators.
