Extras vamp it up for funeral film
A host of flamboyantly attired extras joined Dying Matters at St Barnabas Church in East London on Saturday 28 April to appear in our latest film, 'I didn't want that'.
The scenes being filmed are aimed at challenging the stereotype of a gay funeral. While the deceased gay man did not want an over the top funeral, his failure to communicate his wishes meant that is what he ended up with.
'I didn't want that' aims to encourage people to discuss what they want at the end of their lives: for example, where they would like to die and how they want their funeral to be.
The idea for the gay funeral scenes came about during a focus group Dying Matters' lead charity the National Council of Palliative Care ran with members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The film is being made by pFilx Films, who have previously worked with Dying Matters on several projects. Director Leon Ancliffe was delighted with the day's filming.
"The atmosphere at the church was electric: from sing-songs around the piano to penguins and drag queens from Priscilla," he said.
"Everyone who came not only had a really good time but made an enormous contribution to a very important film. pFlix Films were delighted with the turn-out and would like to say a massive 'thank you' to everyone who put their glad rags on and supported us on a rainy Saturday afternoon."
'I didn’t want that' will be launched during Dying Matters Awareness Week 14-20 May. It will be distributed through social media platforms and will form the pilot for a TV advertisement campaign.

In terms of movie themes, I'm more into family movies, because every Sunday we all gather and watch our favorite movies... But I have to admit, despite being a film about funerary ceremonies and last wishes, this movie seems to be really funny! I can't wait to see it!

You will find mulberry bags sale
You will find mulberry bags sale Surrey located in the South East of England; the county borders Greater London, Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire and Berkshire. Divided into eleven districts, the county of Surrey is divided in two by the chalk ridge of the North Downs which has contributed to the wonderful variety in its landscape. The border between the county and Greater London has been altered on a number of occasions in the past; with places such as Richmond, Croydon and Kingston Upon Thames all formerly being part of Surrey. A balloon tour over Surrey provides the perfect opportunity to take in the sensational sights on view from a completely unique perspective. A balloon flight over Surrey will start from a launch site set in the historical county town of Guildford. From the sky, perhaps one of the most interesting sights on your tour would be the ancient Guildford Castle, believed to have been built shortly after the 1066 invasion of England by William the Conquerer. Being used as a military fortress in the past, it is now a popular tourist destination with it's spectacular gardens, local museum and life-size statue of Alice Through the Looking Glass, which acts as a fitting tribute to Lewis Carroll who used to live nearby.A relatively recent addition to the town's skyline is Guildford Cathedral that can be found on Stag Hill. The cathedral was not consecrated until May 1961, but has now become an important part of the local community and was built from bricks made from the clay hill on which it stands. Other notable views of Guildford from the air include The Hospital of the Holy Trinity and the Royal Grammar School, which is cited by the Oxford English Dictionary as the first recorded instance of cricket in the English speaking world.As your balloon tour takes you away from Guidford, you will get the opportunity to take in some of mulberry taylor bags the beautiful mature woodland that can be seen throughout the county.
