YDAS Shorts - Anything You Can Do

Young people with disabilities from the Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) want to set the record straight on how their stories and experiences are represented on film. From this intention sprung the YDAS short film project, a collection of short films by and about young people with disabilities which will be screened as part of National Youth Week 2010.
Game on! - Two boys face off in a back room. The competition is fierce. Faces are pulled, grapes are thrown and burps are unleashed. But when the stakes are at their highest will victory be sweet?
