AUSTRALIAN DOCUMENTARY LOOKING FOR MIDWIVES

The changing structure of our 21st century family and work arrangements is deeply impacting on life experiences - particularly profound life moments such as birth, love and death.

We are hoping to get in touch with midwives to ask them their opinions about this - we are particularly interested in speaking with midwives who do not have their own children yet, but plan to have children in the future.

At this stage, this would not be a commitment to be in the documentary - we would just like to talk to women midwives about their thoughts and experiences as part of our preliminary research.

The documentary is planned to go into production at the end of February/beginning of March 2009 and will be shooting around the Sydney area.

The documentary has just been funded by Screen Australia - Australia's national film funding organisation. It is being directed by co-directors Tom Murray and Madeleine Hetherton. We are both experienced documentary makers who have directed a number of documentaries for broadcasters such as the ABC, SBS and commercial channels.

We would love to talk to you! Please call or email us if you would like more information.
