OCEANStyle Magazine Reviews Positive and Pregnant
By Douglas Gordon - Ocean Style Magazine 19/5/2011, New York
Freshman Producer impresses with this gripping story of love, pregnancy and HIV
It was clearly a proud moment for Candice Lela-Rolingson and her team as they introduced Positive and Pregnant at the New York International Film Festival earlier this month.
After the successful showing, Candice shared with me some of the challenges that she overcame to produce the film and the sacrifices that were endured to take this important story from concept to cellulite. The journey may have been tough but the result was certainly worthwhile as this 24 minute Docudrama held the attention of everyone in the theatre.
A sobering tale of a young lady who gets pregnant, the short film does a credible job of conveying the heartache to be felt as this woman is plucked from the vibrancy of a maturing but carefree life into one of someone stricken with HIV and then compounded by the reality of being pregnant.
