Chronic The Film (ft. Charlotte & Milly)

Episode 7 of Real talk with @chronicfilm and @butyoudontlooksickofficial  In this episode I talk with the director(Milly) and writer (Charlotte) of the film Chronic. Chronic is a short film that follows the story of a young couple, Sadie and Rob, who move in together but Sadie’s chronic illness complicates their plans and begins to govern their relationship.  We discuss the vulnerability that comes with sharing your story and what the inspiration was for this short film. We discuss how crucial it is to have members of the chronic illness community involved with films when it’s about having a disability and some of the shortcomings that other films have while not including the chronic illness perspective.  About our guests:  Charlotte is the writer of the short film Chronic. Charlotte has a handful of conditions that she wasn’t diagnosed with until after 6 1/2 years of being undiagnosed. She knows the struggles of having an invisible condition without a name all too well. Milly is the director of the film Chronic and has had CFS/ME since childhood.
