March 31 event - 2017 Arc & Sprout Film Festival
Sprout films feature actors whose lives reflect the joys and challenges their characters face. These are not “star” vehicles for well-known actors to portray individuals with I/DD. Rather, all roles depicting persons with disabilities are played by persons with actual disabilities.
Here's the list of films you'll see throughout the day, for only
$5/ticket per showtime OR catch them all with an all-day pass for $12/each. Buy tickets here.
