Young filmmaker Ava, age 13, is a student at Sparks Film School Hove , where she works as part of the film crew in Studio 4.
Everyone was really nice and it was so fun getting to use the cameras. Everyone was really welcoming. Everyone takes it on board and everyone is so nice. I just really love watching films and seeing how they are made! I love acting in the films we make with Sparks. At the beginning of the year we interviewed people for the documentary.
It was so nice to show people what dyslexia is all about. I got to make the documentary with all my friends and they were all so understanding about the topic.
It was interesting to realise how few people really understand or know anything about dyslexia. Mainly, it was to raise awareness. But as I mentioned before, people at Sparks always listen to your ideas, and simply it seemed like a good idea so we decided to go for it! But it was really interesting as he talked about his experiences at school like for example how the school supplied him with a computer to work from.
I really loved the process of interviewing as I found it so interesting to find out how much people knew about it. I thought it would be fun to do something real and something that had some real meaning! If it helps people understand dyslexia anymore it would make me feel so happy.
