Well technically two the first part being a documentary and the leading project Otto Baxter not a F***ing Horror story. The story of Otto a man with Down Syndrome which shows the challenges he and his family face when it comes to being a man with a learning disability. Along side that the challenge they had to make his Comedy Horror film…The Puppet Asylum. Which Otto reflects his own life.

Please excuse the tired slightly get lagged look on my face in the picture to the left, but in what can is a highlight and slightly surreal moment in my career I can safely say I have been to Sesame Street! I have worked with the team at Sesame Workshop in combination with the team at C-Talent for a while now working with them to help improve the quality of Deaf, Disabled an Neurodivergent peoples representation as well as stuff happening behind the scenes and in an up coming season of this legendary show you will be able to see the fruits of all this hard work however I can’t tell you much more than that so shhhh.
Big news today I have had to keep this one quiet for a little while but I have been working behind the scenes as Disability and Access Consultant on the latest version of Lady Carterley’s Lover. This stars the amazing human that is Emma Corrin alongside Jack O’Connell and my now good friend a college the formidable Matthew Duckett. Mathew is a phenomenal Disabled Actor and he is the first Disabled actor to play Lord Chatterley on film it was a pleasure to work closely with him to help shape his performance, as well as making sure set was accessible to him and all his access requirements were met. If you want to read more about my work on the movie you can read about it in this Variety article. You can also see the trailer for Lady Chatterley’s Lover below and of course I recommend watching it on Netflix right now! https://youtu.be/ZOkXE3B0pDA?si=VKv7JLBOZ6TCyGeC
