00:00And the BAFTA goes to, this is endometriosis!
00:06Hi. Oh my lord.
00:09Our team up here and all our volunteers are absolutely incredible.
00:15Matt is going to say some of our thank yous, but I wanted to speak first to my endometriosis community.
00:22If your families, partners, friends, employers and most messed up of all,
00:27your doctors tell you that you're lying, that you're being dramatic, looking for attention or just have a low pain
00:34tolerance,
00:34I've got a new response for you.
00:37Watch the BAFTA-winning film, this is endometriosis.
00:47And then tell me I'm lying.
00:52Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 born with a uterus, takes on average 10 years to diagnose and causes pain worse
00:58than child labour.
01:00Everyone in this room will likely know someone with endometriosis, whether they have their diagnosis yet or not.
01:06Our film focuses on validation, representation and education of endometriosis and we need all of you for that last part.
01:14If you don't know what endometriosis is or what living with it truly means for the 1 in 10 of
01:20us fighting this disease,
01:22please watch and share this film.
01:24To BAFTA and everyone who voted and supported our film, this recognition means so much to this community.
01:30And from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
01:32And thank you to my brother Ralph Weilman for making my dress, fund endometriosis research.
01:45Thank you BAFTA for supporting this project.
01:50This is a grassroots film, built by volunteers and driven by a desire to make a small but significant change
01:56in the world.
01:56So many people helped us bring it to life, far too many to mention.
02:00But to Georgie, you are brave beyond comprehension and an inspiration to a community that depends on you.
02:06Making this film with you has humbled me and taught me that to make films that matter,
02:10we must enter creativity with a strong soul and a soft heart.
02:15Haria, thank you for always being a friend first and a producer second.
02:19We could never have done any of this without you.
02:21To the directors of the other nominated films, Huju, Catherine, Ed M, Luis, your films inspire me to grow, to
02:27be bold, to try new things.
02:29To the endometriosis community who have helped us make this film, and for who it is for, we see you.
02:36And to my partner Jenna, thank you for bringing our beautiful boy into the world.
02:41Thank you for your guidance, for your love, for your unwavering faith, and for showing me that compassion and kindness
02:47can be formidable.
02:48From our whole team, thank you.
