Our Projects
We have run highly successful workshops on equality and filmmaking, details of which can be read on https://cjplee.com where you can also find our blogs. We have completed several film projects, both fiction and documentary. This includes co-producing the short film Ryan Can’t Read (Rhys Chapman, 2023), which shows a neurodivergent man struggling to find work and dealing with grief. The short has been praised as “touching and important” by legendary filmmaker Ken Loach. On our list are also shorts – Pawen (Richard Elson, 2023) and Up and Down (Richard Elson, 2024).
