Thank you for putting this out there! Beautiful work, and great storytelling. I was moved to tears (I know, in part, because of my personal experiences).
I hope to see this out in theaters or on TV making a splash!

Jenni,

I wanted to let you know that I so enjoyed your film, CINEMABILITY, last Friday night. I am friends with David Zimmerman, who invited me. I’m a deaf actress and writer (and also have a physical deformity of my foot, which is usually hidden).

As someone who is a working actor, and also trying to create my own work, through scripts I have written and am producing, it was incredibly inspiring to see this film. It made me feel empowered and justified, both in the rich history that disability has had in cinema, and in the future of it…where it can and needs to go, and what needs to happen to change the way people look at disability, both in Hollywood and in the world.

Thank you for putting this out there! Beautiful work, and great storytelling. I was moved to tears (I know, in part, because of my personal experiences).
I hope to see this out in theaters or on TV making a splash!

All my best,
Hillary
