Here’s a serious statement about why I have made this film and insist on promoting it in the face of hostility and indifference…. Disability is ubiquitous.

Well what’d’ya know I am back, after getting snowed in and frozen out through a grim January and bleak Febuary. The suns back and I am no longer feeling that life is chopping my hands off and then demanding I play the piano…. There’s a little good news regarding the film as well ( that [...]
