Disabled artist film-maker Gary Thomas is working on an ambitious new work that combines film with schools workshops and a touring exhibition.  The film is now in post production.

The film takes its inspiration from the Olympics, and explores the excited journey to London 2012 through the eyes of a child and his much-loved statue of a dog.

The short drama will be presented within a set with two-screens and a child's bedroom, and will feature writings from children from across the South East.

The film was written and directed by Gary Thomas, shot by Bim Ajadi, with sound by John Avery.  Actors Reece Donn, Janet Greaves, Alastair Daniel and Jenny Gilchrist played the family, with Bronte the dog as their real life pet. The Queen is played by Amanda Bellamy, butler is Anthony Styles, lady-in-waiting is Jean Rogers, and Paralympian Official is Tim Gebbels. Four members of the GB sitting volleyball team played themselves in the film.

Visual artist Christine Wilkinson has been helping Gary to develop the project, and Jon Potter has been supporting him in delivering some test school workshops.
