How did the partnership with the MS Society come about?įabio suggested working with the MS Society on this project, with the aim of raising funds for both charities. I then met with Nick Moberly, the CEO of the MS Society, who was equally excited about being involved in the project, and by early summer everything was on track for the filming which would take place in October and November.įor me, it’s fabulous we’re working in partnership with the MS Society and with Rose Leslie, who’s an ambassador for the MS Society and who agreed to play the lead character in the video. That’s really important to Overcoming MS and he understood the importance of this. I said yes, of course! I didn’t know at all what it would look like, except that I’d like it to have a very real but hopeful message.
That evening, Fabio asked me if I would like him to produce and direct a composition and short film, to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis. I remember seeing Fabio and Mel B being interviewed on News at 10 on ITV, and thinking about how powerful music can be to spread awareness of such an important topic. I had also seen his work with Mel B, producing ‘Love Should Not Hurt’ in 2021 in support of Women’s Aid, looking at the issue of domestic violence. I was aware of the projects he had produced which tackled grief, loss and mental health, with his amazing music accompanying the videos. In May 2022, Fabio came over for dinner with us and we were discussing his work covering social causes through beautifully powerful music and short videos. They’ve known each other for a while through TV and media connections, from when she worked in the US. Stephen, how did the idea for Hope Reborn begin?įabio is a personal friend of my wife. It captures the challenges of life with MS, with the aim to raise vital funds and spread a message of hope for everyone living with MS. Hope Reborn is a powerful new single and music video directed and produced by composer Fabio D’Andrea in partnership with Overcoming MS and the MS Society.
