Outreach Disability Projects
Accessible Arts and Media is keen to assist other disabled groups, schools, resource centre’s or others across the region to set up their own projects.
Brigg Film Makers
An example of one of our Outreach projects took place with staff and service users with learning difficulties and disabilities at a Resource Centre in North Lincolnshire in film making. The group learnt how to use a camera, record sound, storyboard, direct and act in their first film “Lipstick, Cards and Water Pistols” – a gangster film.
The project was a huge success, culminating in a premiere screening. A member of staff at the Resource Centre said:

“As this was our first film project I thought would
be going at a slower pace and that the students would have trouble keeping
up, but I was wrong and the group was as keen as mustard. The project
was a great success and the final product was exceptional – it was entertaining
and amusing, and far exceeded my expectations.”
A training element was included in
the project and funding secured to purchase the necessary equipment so
that the group can continue on their own in the future.
