Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Hello wonderful people!
My name is Iustina and I have been your barmaid at The Salisbury Hotel, serving you drinks for the past 4 years. When I am not working at the pub, I write, act and produce for film and theatre.

Through various experiences over the years, I kept wondering what would it be like to be homeless and as a creative person I used my imagination to walk a mile in their shoes. It scared me senseless to imagine what surviving on the streets would feel like. I stopped and talked to them, helped when I could and felt awful when I couldn’t. And I kept thinking that I wanted to do more, to play my part in shaping a better future. So I wrote a film for them which I am now currently producing.

The film is a not-for-profit short film, called "WILL" and it follows the story of a man who, during the magical Christmas season, is forced to survive on the streets of London, so he takes refuge in front of a shop and, each night, he defies his bad luck by spending the change he gets on lottery tickets, hoping for a miracle.

Everyone should have a place to call “home” so please join me in telling their story by following the link to our crowdfunding campaign and donate whatever you can to give this worthwhile message a voice.

Any contribution is highly appreciated and I will be forever grateful.
