I’d love your help in raising awareness for an inspiring short film.

Hello! We’re on the hunt for supporters to help us spread the word about a truly moving and inspiring short film: The Nurse. This heartwarming story follows an elderly couple living with Alzheimer’s as they navigate the ups and downs of their condition. When the husband doesn’t recognize his wife and asks her to leave their home, she embarks on a journey to find her way back to care for the love of her life. It’s a poignant tale of love, loss, and the awe-inspiring strength of the human spirit. Filming is scheduled for June 2023 in North Ridgefield, OH, and we’d love your help in sharing this beautiful story with the world. Thank you! #TheNurse #ShortFilm #AlzheimersAwareness #HumanSpirit #LoveAndLoss

The Nurse – A Short Film by Joyce Kostakis

My film project “The Nurse” is moving along. 

When a person living with Alzheimer’s doesn’t recognize his wife and asks her to leave their home of twenty years, she must figure out a way to find her way back to care for the man she loves. Comps: Still Alice meets The Vow.

We film in June. I met two amazing women that are helping. Carole Klinger, CEO of A Dementia Friendly Life – Linking Individuals & Families Through Education and Engagement and Kristin McAdams with the Alzheimer’s Association, Cleveland chapter. Both are Earth Angels! Carole and I are going to work on training videos for caregivers. I’d love to hear any suggestions you may have.

If you or someone you know is living with dementia, I encourage you to reach out for support.
