The project was started by Reid and Dan as a way to bring awareness to the general public about disabilities. By encouraging disabled and non-disabled filmmakers to create films from the perspective of handicap men and women, they hope to tap into the ever increasing popularity of film as a medium to educate.

“Dan and Reid have known each other since the 3rd grade,” says the website. “Growing up in a small town in Connecticut, they have remained best friends since leaving for college and following their own career paths.”

Today, Reid is a graduate from Stanford University with a Master’s degree in Documentary Film and Video, and spends his time speaking at schools in an initial effort to educate the public about what it’s like to have a disability. His films have been shown across the country and around the world, and have gained prominent media attention from NPR, BBC and the Washington Post.

Dan is a disability advocate, and has been selflessly volunteering for organizations since middle school.

Together they hope to take their project on the road and produce a pilot at a school or University during the winter/spring semester of 2017.

In order to supplement the funds needed to produce their pilot, the duo has taken their project to the pages of Indiegogo. Sponsors will enjoy a number of perks including mention in their pilot series, their name featured on their website, a video appearance in the pilot, or even a personal visit by Dan and Reid to produce the pilot itself.

“Help us get the ball rolling so we can do a pilot at a school or university during the winter/spring semester of 2017. Your contributions will go towards travel costs, equipment for students, camera people to document the pilot, and more,” says the website.
