We were extras in a small independent short film of poet Hollie McNish's poem "embarrassed" which aired on Channel 4.  Having curated a small art exhibition about breastfeeding last year which included Hollie McNish's poem, I returned the favour and volunteered when Hollie had a call out for extras.

Hope Leila's not embarrassed when she's older - that would truly miss the point!
