Hollywood Live

Why Mums Don’t Jump (2023) is a short animated film made by students at Falmouth University for their live-brief client Helen Ledwick, the creator of Why Mums Don’t Jump. The efforts of the students were rewarded; making official selection at La Femme International Film Festival and being interviewed on HollywoodLIVE Today by Aaron Michael Sanchez.

The end goal of collaborating with clients like Why Mums Don't Jump is that these events will help raise public consciousness around women’s health, reframing thinking away from ‘this is just what happens’, towards an empowered position that encourages the next generation to fight for their health and ultimately to help people realise that this is a public conversation it is possible to have.
