Progress, Potential, and Possibilities Podcast / Show Finding Light In Life’s Final Chapter At The Derian House Children's Hospice - The Little Things Documentary- Paul Woodard, Producer
Paul Woodward ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2813295/ ) is a filmmaker, storyteller, and advocate whose deeply personal work has touched audiences around the world.
Paul is the producer of the feature documentary The Little Things ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZDDw4yYl_w ), a film that invites viewers behind the doors of Derian House Children's Hospice ( https://www.derianhouse.co.uk/ ) — not to witness sadness, but to witness love and the remarkable humanity that unfolds in the most challenging of circumstances.
Inspired by his own experience as a parent, Paul began this project to say thank you to the hospice that cared for his son Kalel for seven years. What started as a personal tribute evolved into a powerful documentary that challenges common misconceptions about hospice care, celebrates the relationships between families and caregivers, and shows how places like Derian House become a bridge through grief — offering connection, compassion, and dignity when it’s needed most.
Since its release — including streaming on Amazon Prime — The Little Things ( https://www.primevideo.com/detail/The-Little-Things/0TOUFVXP6JTZZTM28LEA8TS19H ) has moved audiences with its honesty, heart, and belief that the smallest moments can reveal the deepest meaning.
Paul now serves as a Patron of Derian House, continuing his mission to spark conversation, awareness, and empathy for families navigating the unthinkable.
Paul holds an MA in Professional Acting from the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA), has over ten years of work spanning TV, film, theatre, and UK tours, and co-owns Old Swan Films ( https://oldswanfilms.com/ ), a company that focuses on human stories with emotional honesty.
We’re honored to have Paul on the show to talk about the story behind the film, the lessons of love and presence he’s learned along the way, and what it truly means to find light in life’s hardest places.
