Just in from the BBC!

You may remember, back in October I posted a film created by Gerard a young filmmaker with autism and you posted the film on Patient Talk. Gerard’s film got over 12,000 views so thank you so much for sharing the film on social media .”

Gerard shares “A funny warm insightful film about finding love. Getting a Valentine’s date can be hard for any of us but how much harder is it when you have Asperger’s? Gerard’s film wanders through his past love mishaps examining the effect his Autistic communication has had on and finding a partner.

I’m Gerard Groves, I’m 18 years-old, and I love making stuff: films, comedy sketches, project ideas… Basically anything people can watch and enjoy or laugh at or learn from. I’ve been making films since I was a 12 year old kid dressed up as Doctor Who in my back garden; my dream is become a cross between Ridley Scott, J.J. Abrams, and Quentin Tarantino. I’ve just moved from Birmingham to London to start my new job as a BBC Production Apprentice I’d love to hear your feedback/support/criticism/plans-to-take¬-over-the-world! Shoot me an email at gerard.groves@bbc.co.uk”

I’ve just watch and think it is brilliant. So please do watch and share yourself.

Oh yes please share your thoughts about the film in the comments below.
