Have you ever taken the birth control pill?
We’re developing a new documentary film about the birth control pill, and we’re looking for interesting and unique stories about womens’ (and mens’) experiences with the birth control pill. If you are on the pill, have taken it before, or thought about and decided not to take it, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you love the pill or hate the pill sharing your story with the rest of the world can help other women when they make their own decisions and expand the conversation about what the pill means to us today.
This is the first stage of a feature length documentary film about the pill, and is an independent production of Pattern Films (http://www.patternfilms.com) and Tigerlily Films (http://www.tigerlilyfilms.com) and is in no way affiliated with any pharmaceutical company.
If you’re interested in sharing your story, please click the link below to tell us a little more about yourself and your experiences on the pill and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
http://pillstories.com/participate/
If you have any questions, please email us: info@pillstories.com
We’re filming in London on June 11,12,13 so please also note if you are available any of these days.
Please forward this posting to anyone you know who may have a good story to share.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Tigerlily Films, with writer/director and practising psychotherapist Tom Cotton, have just been awarded a development grant from the Wellcome Trust to write a screenplay and produce a documentary about radical psychotherapist R D Laing entitled ‘Do Not Adjust Your Mind There is a Fault In Reality’.
In 1965, Laing started a psychiatric community project at Kingsley Hall, where psychotherapists and schizophrenic patients lived together without conventional patient/doctor boundaries. Although disbanded thirty-seven years ago, Laing’s findings from the Kingsley Hall experiment presented a major challenge to psychiatric orthodoxy and arguably, in light of current proposed government reforms of the 1983 mental health act, are more important today than ever.
