‘Let down my disguise’ short film – Released!

‘Let Down My Disguise’ is the latest lego film by Nacoa ambassador, Ceri Walker. A moving portrayal of what it is like living with a parent who drinks too much: the secrecy, and guessing at normality.

Ceri Walker says of the film: ‘I hope this video reaches children who may be struggling right now. I hope that the stop motion aspect helps to lighten the subject in a way they feel inspired to pick up the phone to Nacoa without being afraid. And I hope it helps other young people who may not know what it’s like to be able to look out for their friends.
