(This is a guest blog from Yvonne Novak, the doula for the birth of our son last year. She was our birthing consultant during one of the days of filming and shares her experience on set. Thanks for sharing this, Yvonne.)
I am a childbirth educator and birth doula. I was invited to help on the set of “Return To Zero” during the early days of filming. I have a special connection with the producer/writer/director and his lovely wife Kiley as having had the privilege of attending their most recent birth, as their doula.
The feeling on the set was so heartwarming with such an intense desire for making sure their story was communicated as closely as possible, with true feeling and passion for this delicate subject matter.
Everyone, from the actors to the production assistants were committed to sharing Sean and Kiley’s story, to bring to light this much needed topic.
I am honored to have been a small part of this incredible project.
Thank you Sean and Kiley for sharing your story. I am hoping this movie helps to open lines of communication for more people who have suffered in silence.
