Information from the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2007

SPECIAL PEOPLE    Enlisted to teach a class of wheelchair-users about filmmaking, the neurotic Jasper gets a little more than he bargained for. His charges seem to know more than he does about his subject; they're not impressed by his own heartfelt social realist oeuvre; and they meet his every suggestion with the blank indifference peculiar to the streetwise adolescent. Extended from his own 2005 short film (shown at EIFF 2005), Justin Edgar's engaging, smartly-written feature questions condescending outreach projects, self-defeating attitudes within the disabled community, and the vacuity of the film business - all with a sly wink and a healthy helping of self-parody
