Samaritans / Christmas 2021

Christmas means so many different things to different people - for some it’s all merriment and mince pies, for others it’s a moment of self-reflective crisis. For the Samaritans it’s when they do some of their most important, transformative work.

With an intensely personal story to tell, we prioritised our contributor Stephanie’s comfort and confidence on set. This underpinned every decision - from filming in her home to having minimal crew - ensuring she felt in a safe space to share.

This film was made for Samaritans’ Christmas Star campaign, encouraging sign up for a cause that provides a literal lifeline to people like Stephanie when they have nobody else to turn to.
