VftS wins ‘Favourite International Doc’ Award
Can’t tell you how happy I am to be able to write this, but we just found out this morning that we won the “Audience Favourite International Documentary Award” for Voices from the Shadows (thats quite a mouthful!) A huge thanks to everyone at Mill Valley and all those who have been to see the film and voted for us – it is fantastic news for the film and for me personally it’s massive!!
As a side update – Im still working on tidying up and prepping a master copy as we work towards a general release, I’m afraid life just sometimes gets in the way! That said though we’ll get news to you as soon as we have it!
Thanks

Special sneak preview at the IACFS/ME Biennial Conference
The International Association for CFS/ME Biennial Conference in Ottawa, Canada – September 22-25 will be hosting a special sneak preview of Voices from the Shadows. This is a big four day conference and attendees are primarily biomedical and behavioral professionals, including clinicians, researchers, and educators from all over the world. This will be a wonderful opportunity when professionals, some of whom may never actually meet severe ME patients, can discover more about the illness and the consequences of using research criteria which are overly inclusive.
