“Desperate for a win, Johnny stumbles upon an unlikely writing partner who leads him astray in pursuit of his Hollywood dreams!”

🎥 We are excited to share our film we did this year for the 2024 Easterseals Disability Film Challenge!

🎬 We only had 5 days to write, shoot and edit a 5 minute film. So we had to cut a lot out, but we’ll be making an extended version when the challenge is over so stay tuned for that! 🙂

🎞️ This is our 11th year creating a film for this film festival and every year we continue to learn and grow, filming with an ALL-INCLUSIVE CAST and CREW!

It is imperative to us that people of ALL ABILITIES are integral collaborators in our projects, including individuals with high level support needs, who utilize non-traditional communication styles!

Everyone has something of value to offer and when we give people platforms to showcase their gifts and talents, we not only empower those individuals to tap into their creativity, we also defy misperceptions and stereotypes others have, creating a more accepting and inclusive world!

Thank you for taking the time to watch it! You help create a more INCLUSIVE WORLD by doing so. 🙏🏼💜

We are trying to get as many VIEWS as possible for the Social Media Awareness Award that goes until April 21st! Please LIKE and SHARE the video below and also view it on Facebook at this link below.
