MR D POINT - the movie

a film project commissioned by Barnardo's Somerset.

This film project provided an opportunity for young people to challenge preconceptions associated with disability. The participants wrote, storyboarded and shot four short comedy sketches. At the centre of each sketch is a character, played by Mickey Wills, they called Mr D Point. His name is a play on words because this character always seems to miss the point and get things wrong.

Here we see Mr Point stewarding a fun run, though with him in charge it's not all that much fun!
