What it covers

- What happens on arrival at the hospital
Why it is worth making
A free ambulance that nobody knows about saves nobody. This film exists to put one number in front of people in Ved Road before they need it.
What filming needs from the hospital
- Permission to film the vehicle and the call desk
- Nobody being filmed mid-emergency, for obvious reasons
- A staged run rather than a real call
Phone footage shot steadily is worth more than nothing, so none of this waits on a production budget. Call 0261 2510050 to arrange it.
