Short Summary:
I'm Garry Anthony Fraser, I'm a BAFTA award winning
filmmaker and social entrepreneur that focuses on issues in Scottish society
that most people shy away from. I focus on deprived council schemes and
the young people who live in them. I can get through to the most hard to reach
in our society, but I need your help. Really.
Wideo Media, a social enterprise I set up in
2012, aims to harness creativity in youths who are otherwise
marginalised in society and empower them through the art of
filmmaking.
It's really important for me to help create
stepping stones for socially excluded young people throughout Scotland as no
one helped me out of addiction & crime in to higher education. I
found my own path, and now I want to leave a ladder for others to climb.
Inner City Arts (ICA) intervention projects are a
proven catalyst and real game-changer for the lives of the most vulnerable
young people in society. They also benefit community safety, and increase
life-chances. Edinburgh University Social Work & Political Science Dept
will carry out evaluation of this project, our fourth so far. This will give us
a social return of investment to help our case for future sustainability. We
will work with 11 young people who are all in need of intervention &
support right NOW!!! And we need your help.
