A massive THANK YOU to everyone who bought a Super-Special Limited Edition World Down Syndrome Day 2014 pre-release DVD!!!

We’re a little way off releasing “Growing Up Down’s” on DVD, but we wanted to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 2014 (#WDSD2014), which is this coming Friday 21st March.

So we have decided to do a super-special edition DVD release, selling for £21 in honour of Chromosome 21.

We’re making these DVDs with amazing special gifts, and when they’re gone they’re gone. The money raised will help us to distribute the film more widely.

To find out more and purchase the DVDs, please visit our SHOP page above!

… a Documentary to blow your mind. To warm the cockles of your heart…

and then break it.

This is HAMLET IN LOVE.

I’ve just about finished filming for HAMLET IN LOVE! There are a couple of things to finish off – such as Lawrie *hopefully* meeting the actor of his dreams – but the story is there.

And it’s beautiful, heart-breaking and uplifting beyond belief.

But I’m the only one that knows this! So now comes the edit – and with over 200 hours in the can it is going to be quite a task for me and the wonderful John Mister. Which means serious fundraising…

Watch this space!

Tommy and Lawrie have been taking part in Mark Rylance’s “What You Will: Pop-Up Shakespeare” performances to celebrate the London 2012 Paralympics.

If you watch this video VERY CLOSELY, you will see the ‘ocular proof’!
