AS DETAILED here back in April, my old friend from Sutton Coldfield Justin Edgar won the audience award at the Britspotting Festival in Berlin with his latest film Special People.

Expanded from an original short film, it tells the story of four kids in wheelchairs and an idiot film maker on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

The new version stars Dominic Coleman, Sasha Hardway, Robyn Frampton, David Proud and Jason Maza and came fourth in the Audience Appreciation chart when it premiered at last year's Edinburgh International Film Festival.

I'm hoping to see the film on Monday and to catch up with Justin... still the only guy I know to have a First Class Degree after leaving (Plantsbrook) school with no 'O' Levels.

That's some achievement!

Special People will play at the Electric Cinema, Station Street from November 24-27.

CONGRATULATIONS to my old friend Justin Edgar whose film Special People has won the audience award at the Britspotting Festival in Berlin.

I'll dig out an archive interview with the inspirational boy wonder later this week to help put him in the spotlight - and to show you just how far he has travelled from humble origins in Sutton Coldfield.

People who moan about a lack of opportunities should read Justin's story and get off their butts.
