Ticketyboo - the story

Ticketyboo is a powerful, personal story of regret and redemption from writer/director Renée Brack, produced by Kristina Foster and Kristen Hodges.

After losing her artist-father to Alzheimer’s, journalist and writer Renée Brack confronts how their relationship changed because of the disease. Just like he hid symptoms for as long as he could, she hid her own dark, angry feelings, becoming the poster child for doing dementia badly. Then a gifted counsellor set her on a quest to end her guilt and find forgiveness by hosting the only exhibition of her late father’s art and creating a living memorial in place of the grave she cannot visit. On this odyssey, a shocking truth changes everything. It wasn’t dementia that destroyed her relationship with her dad. Her fear and ignorance of Alzheimer’s did it. This realisation plunges her into a gruelling barrage of tests and in the light of a politically-charged Royal Commission, risks her career & dignity to find out if she too has early signs of the disease. What will it mean for her future? Will learning how to do dementia better give her the salvation her soul craves and live a better life?
