Drama for NHSBT
The Day in the Life
Omni have been commissioned by the NHSBT to produce a drama about the working life of a DTC (Donor Transplant Coordinator); which having spoken with those in the know must frankly be one of the most highly pressurised jobs in existence, hence providing the ingredients for a very engaging, enlightening and naturally moving short drama.
Exploring the working day of a DTC, which can start without warning at anytime in the 24hr day, given the fact that the deaths of those suitable for organ donation tend to be unexpected, is then followed by a highly emotional first half to the day where upon respectful, non pressurised counselling and consultation with the shocked and bereaved family is then followed with a time sensitive schedule to source one or several desperate recipients, who often only have hours to live themselves.
The upside is knowing that with such loss comes the fulfilment of saving lives, often of children with terminal illnesses. All culminating in a typical ‘roller coaster of emotions’ type of day, that if you times by five days a week, you find yourself deep in admiration for those who can actually do it without crumbling - and we think our jobs are stressful!
In the style of Kevin McDonald’s ‘Touching the Void’, this drama will combine insightful, intimate interviews with two London based DTCs, complimented with dramatic reconstructions of key moments from their working life.
Omni are hugely proud to be associated with this production and as a result have signed ourselves onto the Blood and Organ Donor registration to put our mouths where our hearts, lungs, eyes, etc. are.
A very pale faced blog of our trip to give blood to follow soon...Get involved here: www.blood.co.uk
The film will be complete in the first quarter of 2010.
