Andrea Thornton is a producer and filmmaker; her last documentary ‘ATTENTION PLEASE’ was made in the hope of bringing about reform on how we treat and recognise ‘labelled’ children in the Western World. ‘ATTENTION PLEASE’ had its first screening at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to premier in the US, winning ‘Best Short Documentary  - Mental Health’ at the A.C. Cinefest, before being released worldwide on Amazon Prime. It also screened on all Virgin Atlantic flights. 

Andrea’s journey into this field was deeply personal. In search of answers for her own son, who exhibited signs of ADHD, she consulted numerous experts but found no definitive solution. By chance, she discovered Neuro-Developmental Therapist Bob Allen, whose work on treating Retained Primitive Reflexes led to transformative changes in her child. Witnessing such a profound impact, she felt compelled to use her filmmaking skills to raise awareness of this little-known but highly promising approach.
