Death sci-fi style: Film explores grief

A FORMER mental health patient, Oliver Bowes, has written, directed and stars in a film about grief and bereavement being screened at Holloway Odeon today (Friday).
The Legend of Jason Tristan is a 20-minute science fiction drama dealing with how Mr Bowes, from Caledonian Road, dealt with the death of his father.
Three films written, directed and acted by people with severe mental health problems will be shown.
The films were made by residents of Highbury-based mental health organisation St Martins, a specialist housing association which provides housing, care and support to people leaving secure and medium secure hospitals, and people with severe mental illness.
A limited number of tickets is available for the public. Contact Trish Macmanus on 020 7704 3820.
