JUSTIN'S BACK

By Graham Young on Nov 15, 08 10:00 PM

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.
