'I Dream I Dare I Do'
In 2010 Filmmaker Caglar Kimyoncu (Filmpro Studios) and Theatre Producer Julie McNamara embarked upon a journey to record the extraordinary achievements of three embattled individuals who harbour a dream. This video short, to be released in Summer 2011, is all about mentoring in hard times. It is also all about love.
Each of the three people at the heart of the stories unfolding in this video has a central theme in common – a life dream that drives them to take on extraordinary challenges and make considerable changes. Each person also happens to live with Learning Difficulties.
