Director Statement:
"The story of 'Always a Joy' is a very personal and delicate one that is inspired by my own personal experiences. The cast and crew involved and so many others also recognise the importance of its theme. The aim was to create something special and important which highlights a very relatable situation but delivered within a cinematic narrative. The beauty of the story comes from Joy, played by the wonderful Karen Ford, a character who is based on my late Grandmother. A warm-hearted, compassionate woman who would nurture with affection and encouragement and share lovely tales from her life. I truly hope you find joy in this piece, crafted without a budget but supported by an amazing team and the most remarkable leading lady, without them this would never have come to life" - Dan Holloway
