After the triumph of his film “Un p’tit truc en plus”, Artus wants to create inclusive holiday centers for people with disabilities

The director brought together more than 10 and a half million spectators with this film, which became the ninth most viewed feature film in the history of French cinema.

Artus, 37-year-old actor and director, announced on Tuesday October 8 his desire to create inclusive vacation centers for people with disabilities, in line with the historic success of his film A little something extra.

“I’m building my foundation. The goal is that holiday centers A little something extra exist“, declared Artus to the press upon his arrival at the Senate, where he took part in a debate on disability and on his film, the ninth most viewed feature film in the history of French cinema with 10.7 million spectators since its release in May.

“We are thinking. I would like there to be a mix. I would like there to be able-bodied young people with young people with disabilities, because I think that the more we are mixed, the more commonplace it will become.“, he continued.

“We are already looking for locations. Afterwards, there will be work… I would like it to go quickly”he specified, wanting accessible premises and “beautiful” : “I want there to be a real Club Med, luxury hotel feel. I want us to stop rhyming the medicalized with the creepy“.

Then speaking in the Senate in front of the Minister Delegate in charge of People with Disabilities, Charlotte Parmentier-Lecocq, appointed a few days after the other government ministers, Artus quipped: disability, “we have trivialized it since we even forget to appoint ministers to this position! So we are on the right path“.

A little something extraArtus’ directorial debut, claims to laugh with disabled people and not at their expense. Around ten amateur actors with disabilities respond to the cast of professionals, including Clovis Cornillac and Artus, who play two little thugs hidden in the middle of a summer camp for young people with mental disabilities.
