‘My personal experience with Filmable has changed my life dramatically’
I joined Resource Productions and helped out on a film set as a make-up artist which led me on to write and shoot my poem.
I wrote a poem called ‘Don’t Judge Me’ it is about all types of disabilities. I wrote this poem as I have a disability myself. I am wheelchair Bound and know what it is like to be bullied and feel very insecure.
I was lost until I managed to do this - uScreen made me feel I am found and that I have a voice.”
