I was working the editing suite this week, late into the night, pulling off clips and making little trailers to run on the internet so people can see bits of the movie.
Admittedly these are the more surprising and entertaining clips from the live show but that’s the way of the net, what with the short attention span of the modern man. They’ll be on Youtube and Videomotion and the rest very soon and then its up to ‘the people’ to demand that this film is shown in movie theaters across America and on tv around the world (the power of the internet is that strong, it really is…) I can’t do more than make a great movie and then give it directly to you – avoiding the dictators and demigogs that try and tell you what you should like, do and watch…they always get it wrong. This week I have also been involved in a series of discussions, actually I was only informed about them not part of them, that have resulted in my film being banned from being shown at a major venue/event in London. I will tell you more about this on Monday….
I made clips….posted next week

Well done Richard, a thought provoking blog. Perservere with this one – at some point the mainstream media has to understand that they cannot dicate how minority groups should live. It strikes me as more important than ever that we break this “politically correct” cycle of lying by omission. These guys have empowered themselves by breaking the mold of what society expects of them, and they deserve some acknowledgment for this – regardless of whether or not so called normal people agree with their choices. If only there were more films out there honest enough to show the truth about people’s lives, perhaps people with disablilities could live their lives without being both pitied and feared by mainstream society.
