John Tagholm, Independent Filmmaker for BBC/ITV/C4 and Writer, says,

'As with all Alicia Hoser's films, Mums on the Run hits you between the eyes and makes you decide where you stand on any number of
issues.'


Amanda Boyle,  Director/Producer and  BAFTA Film Award Winner.Cast Offs/Skins/Misfits and Pop Art are just a few of the films under Amanda's direction and after viewing Alicia Hoser's film Boyle states,

"Mums on the Run - quickly pulls you in to the real observations of it's wonderfully larger than life director. The economical editing and elegant use of text cleverly sets the scene - yet it's the unselfconscious moments it captures which make it stand out. Powerfully straight forward and undeniably joyful at times - Alicia's film gives you a brief snap shot of the aftermath of abuse as a reality. Without ever being voyeuristic, you can't help but be moved by the frustrations, humour, warmth and intimate tragedy Alicia sees around her. This is home video where home is precarious and the technique behind the videoing is bold and skilled. I know I'll keep thinking about this film and can't wait to see what Alicia does next cinematically."
