Davie Bryce's Calton Athletic is a documentary by Jonnie Lewis and Euan Myles about the Scottish abstinence-based recovery group whose members acted as a source of inspiration for the Trainspotting films.

Calton Athletic Recovery Group has been helping individuals recover from drug and alcohol addiction through their unique abstinence based programme since 1985. Their main aim is to provide support through weekly recovery meetings, as well as various physical activities, both of of which they believe integral to achieve and sustain long term recovery.

Calton Athletic Recovery Group is a registered charity that is solely reliant on self-generated funds at present. They are currently providing a limited service on a voluntary capacity from rented premises in the East End of Glasgow.

This film features as an extra on the Trainspotting 2 DVD release.

'Around the Block' is a passion project by Jonnie Lewis that focuses on American street artist David Zinn, famous for his heart-warming street drawings, composed of chalk, charcoal and found objects.

I began work on it through my own sense of creative frustration, with the loose idea being 'I want to go and make a film about a street artist'.

But when it came to editing it, it felt more apt for it to become an analogy for what it's like to be involved in the creative process that perhaps anyone in a creative industry can identify with.

Much like David finds inspiration in the cracks, streaks and specks on the pavement, I personally find that getting out and finding shots with a camera in my hand is far more fluid and inspiring than sitting at home and trying to come up with ideas.

The final piece is no longer a film specifically about street art, but a study of the process involved in making ideas come to life - told through a tour of David's world alongside the characters that live within it.

If nothing else, hopefully it encourages someone else to go out and create something just... because.

Jura is an Island off the west coast of Scotland where deer outnumber humans by 40:1. This film is in fond memory of Peter Campbell who sadly passed away earlier this year. No one knew Jura and its deer better than him. And although very ill at the time he gave his incredible knowledge and wonderful voice to the film.
