I was contacted on friday via Linkedin by a lovely lady with this amazing message.
‘My name is Julie Daly-Wallman and I am CEOand Founder at Green Eye Productions Academy Ltd. We are currently in the production phase of our upcoming feature film, Genuine Fakes, a compelling story inspired by true events that explores the fascinating world of art, luxury, and deception.
We are reaching out to you because we believe your brand aligns perfectly with the themes and tone of our film. Genuine Fakes is a story of sophistication, creativity, and the allure of exclusivity – qualities that resonate strongly with your brand’s identity’
Shortly after, Julie and i had a chat where we found out we had a lot in common. Like me, Julie was diagnosed autistic late in life and has struggled alot in many different areas similar to myself.

‘Genuine Fakes’ BIO
‘In the 1980’s and 1990’s the world witnessed a dramatic increase in the price of works of art. As prices soared so did the potential for fraud. Genuine Fakes is based on a true story of how two different men from different social settings meet in the strangest of circumstances and proceed to Mastermind possibly the largest Art Fraud of the 20th Century’
I am so proud to be asked to be part of such a great movie and project. Julie is as passionate as I am about raising awareness of autism in society which makes this extra special to me.
John Myatt and myself will be donating a piece of art (the actual art featured in the movie) which will be auctioned for Anna Kennedy Online Autistic Charity at a later date – TBA.
‘The reason I contacted you is that I read about your work as an artist through Anna Kennedy’swebsite (Anna Kennedy Online) and I found your story inspiring in how you support so many people like us and I could relate to you and your story in a number of ways’
‘I wanted to add a piece of your art in the movie with John Myatt’s art as a nice feature’
‘I wanted to thank Anna for her support to me over the years and support the charity, of which i know the you are an ambassador for. It is lovely that Anna was our connecting path to meeting’
‘I want to say thank you to you, Anna Kennedy OBE, Andrew Smith Pinewood Studios, Rosemary Myatt & Richard Post HMRC for their unwavering support, friendship and kindness.’ –JW
