The new film by a director supported by the Lewisham Film Initiative will be screened at the next  Raindance Film festival.
LFI's Charley Graley, who has written and directed it, will present  'Crazy Hands', a 7-minutes short, at the 17^th edition of the festival.
The  film, which has been nominated for Best UK Short, tells the story of a man, played by the physical comedy genius of David Schneider, who wakes up one day and discovers that his hands have a life of their own. Zara Ramm and Ben Burton also star.
The screening will take place at the Apollo West End Theatre on Monday October, 5 at 3 pm.
The aim of the  Lewisham Film Initiative is to help 'local film-makers fulfil their potential through production funding, networking events, one-to-one surgeries and screening opportunities.'
Since 2003, the LFI has supported hundreds of screenings within the borough, provided - with its partners Film London and Southwark and Lambeth councils - vital financial support to over 25 film-making teams, as well as programmed and financed four new film clubs.
