“What a wonderful event. I absolutely loved the first film about the process, and what it means to the parents and tutors to be involved. Was moved to tears a number of times!”

“It's hard being a special needs young man, finding self esteem and ways to be challenged to do your best and collaborate on projects is not easy. This project ticked every box, and exceeded all expectations, and we are thrilled with the results.”

“The pride and reaction of the young people and their families. To see these kids, who are so often marginalised and excluded from these sorts of activities, “star” in a movie that they contributed from the plot ideas, to the characters and even the music underscores, was their equivalent of winning the world cup in rugby or an academy award. Pride and achievement ....what a boost in their confidence.”
