Performance poet with Asperger’s brings his experience to debut film.
Stretch New Media, a new film and digital-media producer established to support and give voice to vulnerable groups, has announced its first production, Frosted Glass, which started shooting today in London.
The 40-minute film is a semi-autobiographical story written by Anthony Fairweather, an award-winning poet and performance artist whose poetry helped a psychiatrist diagnose him with Asperger’s Syndrome at the age of 26. Frosted Glass is based on Fairweather’s experience and the stigma of mental illness.
Directed by cinematographer Ben Cole (The Wedding Video, 1 Giant Leap) with assistant directors Chloe Plumb and Chris Spence, Frosted Glass is exec produced by Dean Stalham and Carlotta Allum for Stretch New Media. The film has been funded by a combination of private investors and a crowdfunding initiative, which is ongoing in a bid to complete the film.
