Michael Achtman: Director, editor and screenwriter in London, England.

Hi, I'm a writer director - my short film Awake, an existential comedy starring two blind actresses has been included in BFI Player's new collection Disabled Britain on Film.(Look on BFI Player website.) I'm currently developing a road trip feature with both of them (producers?), and planning to shoot a new short in early 2019. My expertise is disability accessible practice and audio description. London-based, and happy to share stories or talk collaboration.

My short film Awake is now available online as part of the groundbreaking Disabled Britain on Film on BFI Player (UK only). https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-awake-2015-online

I'm heading to Edinburgh Film Festival EIFF 20-26 June. Any Stage 32 peeps going to be there? Drop me a line if you want to connect and chat about projects, films, etc.

Hey, Michael, thanks for connecting!! Sorry I wasn't in touch sooner, only I just got back from holiday.
