Patient-Expert Interviews in the Mid-South

The Good Medicine Project interviewed four patient-survivors in Memphis, Tennessee. Our first question is always, “How did you learn that you had breast cancer?”

The Crew

Our small-but-mighty production crew consisted of kind and skilled local professionals who went above and beyond to make our interview subjects confident and relaxed. The event was led by cinematographer Stef Allan, director of photography for the Memphis Grizzlies and his own productions. Brandon Robertson recorded sound and did a million things to put the interview subjects (and the director!) at ease.

Faizah Husniyah did stunning makeup and hair. She made each interview subject feel and look her best on camera. When Rachel, the youngest interview subject, left the studio, she looked at herself in the mirror and said, “I can’t waste this! I’m calling my husband and we’re going out to lunch!”
