A new project in Exeter is giving adults with learning disabilities the chance to make a movie.

The scheme is being run by Exeter-based charity Community, Equality, Disability Action and community arts company Means of Production. There will be four half-day workshops and five days’ filming on location, finishing with an event in March.

Participants don’t need any prior filmmaking knowledge and the project is free, thanks to funding from the Exeter Positive Steps Fund.

Today is the last day you can register, on 01392 360645. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis - so you’d better get a bloody move on.

Oh, and there’s also an opportunity for two volunteers to work on the project, suitable for disabled and non-disabled artists, students and graduates, art teachers and community arts workers who want to increase their skill and experience in working with disabled people.
