David Murrell; a renowned fashion photographer, music video director, surfer, friend, brother, son and husband. His future was assured but then in 2011 a large, rare and aggressive cancerous tumour was discovered in his brain. He was given 12 months to live.
This is the extraordinary personal, ongoing story of David Murrell’s battle with brain cancer and its repercussions on his life, his family and his career. Most of the series have been constructed from videos Davie took of himself. It is intensely personal. Every dramatic development is real life. It’s edgy and often confrontational but the unexpected twists in Davie’s story are just that. Unexpected.
