Listen Later

Mark Currie is a filmmaker & a family friend & an Everton fan & once a football coach


In 1993 Mark created the story The Man Who Was Different which celebrates the importance of difference and being yourself


I first heard about the story in the 2020 lockdown impacting me on my own journey of expressing my inner self outside


I was lucky to have a chance to sit down with Mark to hear about the story in his own words


Mark shares a behind the scenes view of the story why he first wrote it and how it is still relevant today


Originally a script he wrote to help himself he self published it into a book and now turned it into a film to spread it even further


Now Mark is using his story as a vehicle to inspire the next generation & beyond sparking conversations about difference and embracing creativity


Reinforcing the message within people that we are all special and we all have value to express
