AUTISTIC JOURNEYS WITH CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON

Heart-warming, funny, emotional behind the scenes footage from the day an Autistic film maker met and interviewed the man who inspired him to make films - Doctor Who. In the BBC1 drama series The A Word, Christopher Eccleston plays the grandfather of an autistic child, film maker Gerard Groves shares.

I’m Gerard Groves, I’m 18 years-old, and I love making stuff: films, comedy sketches, project ideas… Basically anything people can watch and enjoy or laugh at or learn from. I’ve been making films since I was a 12 year old kid dressed up as Doctor Who in my back garden; my dream is become a cross between Ridley Scott, J.J. Abrams, and Quentin Tarantino. I’ve just moved from Birmingham to London to start my new job as a BBC Production Apprentice I’d love to hear your feedback/support/criticism/plans-to-take­-over-the-world! Shoot me an email at [email protected]

Thanks for watching, I hope you laughed or learnt something.
