Olly’s Light Travels ~ feature documentary
Olly’s Light Travels 50 min Feature documentary is complete!
In August 2024 Ma’at Films completed our first feature documentary ‘Olly’s Light Travels’ which was funded with a successful Crowdfunder campaign run in March 2024, in conjunction with the Olly’s Future Charity.
Through narration of Olly’s vibrant and insightful gap year travelogue journals, we capture the essence of this wonderfully gifted, funny and compassionate young man. We hear from friends and family who’ve been inspired by Olly to create a powerful legacy in his memory – the Olly’s Future Charity: ollysfuture.org.uk
Olly’s Light Travels documents the cathartic journey of souls. Where the grief of Olly’s loss carries each person on their own separate journey, but still connects them with the embodiment of Olly’s love and light.
We explore the experiences of his mother, father, family and friends and their individual journeys of grief and how the catalyst of Olly’s light continues to travel, unite and shine beyond, even in the darkest of times.
How a life cut short which burnt so brightly, transmutes purpose, healing, and change – generating a profound strength in all those who loved him so much.
Olly’s Light Travels is not currently available to view publicly as MA’AT Films UK are submitting to UK and international film festivals. We will keep you posted on where and when the film will be screened next!
