“… From the outset my desire was to make an empowering, powerful, challenging and timely film about what we are willing to do for the people that we love…Supernova is a romantic, original, modern love-story. It is an intimate, self-contained tale that investigates some of the biggest human questions of all: how we live and love and laugh, even as we near the end of our time.” – Harry Macqueen, Director of Supernova
Dr Emma Harding, co-lead of the Rare Dementia Support PCA Support Group, talks to Harry Macqueen, writer and director of Supernova, and Lori Hayden, RDS member and carer for her husband John who lived with PCA – a form of young-onset dementia. Lori, John and Emma all worked with Harry to help inform the context of the film.
