About this Short Film
Me Makes Lego (Kent Man, Australia, 2026) follows Beavenon, a young person who uses Lego to explore and explain how he experiences the world. Through quiet, first‑person moments about train motors, bus doors and design choices, the film offers an intimate portrait of someone with an intellectual disability and autism navigating communication and cognitive processing differences. Gentle and practical in tone, the documentary privileges the subject's perspective as he works to improve how others understand him, mixing hands‑on creativity with thoughtful reflection. Audiences seeking honest, person‑centred stories about creativity, communication and everyday problem‑solving will find this a respectful, illuminating fit for the Focus on Ability festival.

Film Transcript
One of the challenges in life, in my life, is that I find it difficult to express myself. Try switching the port. Shall we? I might have been wrong. Okay. Wow. Then I thought you wouldn't know your trains inside out. Yes. Try it now. And so I'm going to improve myself to help others understand me better.
The speed of the train here. The middle one cannot move very well. The middle one cannot move because of the motor but because of the hob. One big challenge of the challenge. Anyone else?
I wanted a door that could open. I have a special design of the bus doors that can open manually like this. The Lego bus design is of one of Adelaide Metro's old Scania buses. This done. Okay.
