Dyslexia Films

Working with the Liverpool Dyslexia Project Souled Out Films has produced and directed ‘Listen Up’ (Link to film), a short film for service providers by ten young people with dyslexia.
Souled Out co-founder Mike Morris has seven years experience of working in education as a Learning Mentor, and city-wide coordinator for Learning Mentors in Liverpool’s secondary schools. He has worked with many young people with special needs, specifically dyslexia, and has a diploma in Special Needs: Dyslexia, which he studied for at Liverpool John Moores University.

Souled Out Films believe strongly in Social Inclusion, and sees film-making as an exciting and accessible method of raising awareness in this area, and involving young people in finding ways to express themselves creatively. Both of Souled Out’s directors have been involved in producing films with young people, both in their work with Souled Out, and as executive producers for a series of award winning short films for Liverpool’s annual Writing on the Wall Festival.

Sold Out Films are currently developing a DVD for Parents with dyslexic children. short promo for the film is available for viewing by clicking here (link).

Conflict Club

Its school time. Time for teaching and teachers, students and study. But what
happens when the system doesn't suit ? You are excluded. Not included. Not
bothered? Not interested? Not ambitious? Not arsed?

Six pupils in the referral room. Trapped in a cell there's only one thing to
fall back on. Your imagination. Confined to small spaces will big ideas grow?

Folllow the journey from home to school. Catch the bullies at work in the
school toilets. See the classroom conflict. And end up in the referral room and
witness the escape to freedom.

Samantha’s Dream

During the summer term 2004, children from St Mary and St Paul's Primary School
worked together with professional actors, Souled Out Films and Prescot Museum
to produce a short film about watch making in Victorian Prescot.

Ritchie Knights, the teacher who created the projects wrote afterwards:

“Dave Cotterill runs Souled Out Films from Toxteth TV studios in Liverpool and they
were ideal partners because they have a track record of working with schools in
film production… Film is an exciting way to represent history”.
