We returned to the Alamo Drafthouse Village on November 4 & 5 for two nights of film celebrating the achievements of young people with disabilities and deafness. We are delighted to report the Festival was a huge success, bringing in big crowds, screening outstanding feature length and short films, and even exceeding our fundraising goals!

On our program were this year's features, The Rebound and Deaf Jam, winning entries from our international short film competition, a Q&A with Austin Paralympian David "Super Dave" Wear, live ASL & spoken slam poetry (check out the video below), and more!
