A team of young people with learning disabilities and neurodiversities such as autism, spent the start of this year creating a film made entirely on Zoom.
Performing arts youth group Hackney Shed Collective premiered the film, called Find a Partner, on May 29 at Homerton s Castle Theatre.
The cast, all aged 15-25, and invited guests turned up to watch the film created as part of The National Theatre s country-wide Connections Festival.
Anna Clover from Hackney Shed said: We are so proud of this film and all the work the young people have put in to produce this fantastic piece of work.
