From 'Can't' To 'Can' with Leonard Cheshire

Got a bit of a special one for you. New work, for an awesome new charity client, with a new behind the scenes bonus thrown in for good measure.

If you haven’t heard about Leonard Cheshire, they offer support to help people live, learn and work as independently as they choose, whatever their ability. They got in touch, wanting to make a film for their #ActuallyICan campaign, which would inspire people to shift from ‘can’ to ‘can’t’ and get involved with their volunteering activities.

From the get-go, accessibility was a priority in the production planning, and really opened our eyes to how inaccessible cities (or anywhere) can be - on set, off set and every single day. It's something we cover in this belter of a behind-the-scenes film we made, featuring star of the film Jack Binstead (Bad Education, BBC 3) and Pete Donnelly (Leonard Cheshire) talking about their personal experiences of disability.

A massive thank you to everyone who helped bring this film to life, particularly the Leonard Cheshire staff, volunteers and programme users who feature in the story. Extra special thanks especially to VisABLE People - the world's first agency to manage disabled talent - who helped us put together our brilliant cast.

Oh, and here’s the finished film, enjoy!
