Your presenCE is preseNTS enough (2025)
A short Christmas film written and directed by Daisy-May Hudson for Avanti West Coast In Partnership with The Railway Children Charity. The film is five minutes long to reflect the frequency of a child running away in the UK.
This film is a reminder to everyone what is most important at christmas - our presence and human connection. The script was written with research and consultancy with lived experience advisors of The Railway Children Charity. For Daisy-May, lived experience voices should be at the centre of all our storytelling.
