Sheffield-based Debbie Howard of Big Buddha Films<\/a> has won a prestigious Award of Excellence, from The Impact DOCS Awards Competition<\/a>. The award was given for Howard\u2019s compelling documentary Still Loved<\/em><\/a>, which explores the complexity and reality for families surviving baby loss – giving an unexpected voice to bereaved fathers, who speak candidly for the first time providing an additional perspective to that offered by mothers, grandparents and siblings.<\/p>\n

Colin Pons<\/a> (course leader of MA Filmmaking at Sheffield Hallam University) is a co-producer for the documentary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to receive this award. Still Loved has been an incredibly challenging film to make due to the stigma and taboo surrounding stillbirth. Our team have worked passionately on this film for three years working closely with the seven families featured in the film. After being told many times not to make this film and that there is no audience for it, we released the film into cinemas last year to packed houses and many sold out screenings. We received fantastic reviews in the press and receiving this award is a great endorsement for us. Unless people see this film, attitudes towards baby loss won\u2019t change, and it desperately needs to. We hope now that one of the national television channels will be courageous enough to broadcast this film so that it reaches a wider audience and breaks the silence around baby loss, which affects thousands of families every year. Thanks so much for this incredible award.\u201d
\nStill Loved<\/em> Director, Debbie Howard.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
