A-Listers is an alternative, fun-fuelled film community in Lewes; an eclectic collective of young people who enjoy getting together regularly at Depot, to meet up, mess around and produce fun films and trailers. All are confident performers, and they all bring their unique personalities to the party, to produce funny and high-quality productions, now much-loved by the Lewes community.
Young adults with neurodivergences and disabilities often find it hard to access social and creative activities and to get their voices heard. A-listers goes a long way to shine a light on these talented individuals and to normalise their presence on the big screen.
The A-listers themselves are a disciplined bunch, experienced in ‘front-of-camera-filmmaking’ and all that involves, from the pre-production process of improvising, rehearsing and learning new skills for the part, to working with and taking direction from the professional film crew at Fam Jam Films, who bring their ideas and visions to life.
When they’re off set, they act out and mess about with famous movie scenes and explore movie genres, they make regular trips to the movies at Depot and love to help out at Depot’s Everybody Friendly screenings.
Depot is committed to social inclusion and accessibility in our community and are proud to have supported A-listers from its inception to now, its fourth successful year.
Watch out for their cinema-etiquette trailers before each screening and enjoy!
Please note: A-listers is suitable for neurodivergent young adults aged 20-25 who are happy to be in the spotlight. At present, we are at capacity due to its popularity.
