Why did you pick this subject for Fresh?

Young people often worry about life and the things they don't have. This documentary makes you appreciate life and shows you how lucky you are just to be healthy. Enduring Motor Neurone Disease gives an insight into the daily struggles of this horrific disease. The documentary itself shows Steve Evans and his loving family. Instead of focusing solely on Steve it shows how the disease affects everyone around the sufferer. Thank you to the Evans family for letting me share their story.

What motivated you to make this film?

It's personal to me because a close family friend of mine suffers from it. I made this film to raise awareness.

What are your plans for the future?

Practice makes perfect. Learning from my mistakes.
