“The Space is a new and exciting way to experience the arts at a time when there is a wealth of arts activity during the Cultural Olympiad. Push Me profiles our Unlimited projects for Deaf and disabled artists and provides an excellent opportunity for people all over the world to see the fantastic range of arts which these projects encompass.”

So said Phil Gibby, Arts Council England’s Director for the South West in Arts Council England’s own launch of PUSH ME. And he’s not alone in his applause for the PUSH ME films.

And in an email congratulating us Kate Ryan, Communications Manager UK 2012 for the British Council, said:

“Wonderful films – how did you manage to convey so much in just 90 seconds – very impressive, inspiring and moving!’.

We’ve had a good response on Twitter too:
