The Four Color Media Monitor

The Barnsley Chronicle tells about artist Dean Ornston's experience with brain injury, which has since been the focus of a film available on streaming channels:

A FAMOUS local artist - who’s worked with some of the biggest names in comic books - has shared the story of how he survived a brain injury and stayed in business in a new film that’s now available on Amazon Prime. [...]

Over the past four years, Dean has been working with his lifelong friend and Barnsley-born filmmaker Paul Ross, to develop the film ‘Dean Ormston: Working Class Superhero’ that chronicles his tumultuous journey.

The Kickstarter-funded project has taken longer than either would’ve thought, going through multiple re-drafts since Paul suggested the idea during the pandemic.

“It’s been a long old process,” Paul said.

“I’ve been making little commercial videos for years now, but I’ve never had a proper film project, which is what me and most people want to do.

Well good luck to him on marketing the documentary film; it's an important subject. He's lucky his injury didn't end his career in art.
