We're delighted to share the finished film by director Bim Ajadi and Glow Films for Smart Energy GB.
An integral part of Smart Energy GB’s national roll-out of smart meters, this video is a key part of delivering on that by ensuring that people in the Deaf community are also able to access that information.

SEND IN YOUR CLIPS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN $300!
Are you talentless at something and proud of it? Do you know someone with a lack of skill that people are always amused by?
We are looking for short clips (filmed on phones or cameras) of people attempting something requiring a skill…that they don’t quite have.
... It could be ‘Dad dancing', out-of-tune singing, failed magic tricks, poor football skills or anything where you’ve filmed someone whose ability doesn’t quite match their ambition.
Send your clips in and we'll pay $300 for each of those we select!
