Out of My Mind
Directed by Amber Sealey
Produced by Big Beach, EveryWhere Studios
A warm, hopeful coming-of-age story about a brilliant sixth grader with cerebral palsy finding her voice and place in a world that initially underestimates her.
Melody Brooks, a sixth grader with cerebral palsy, has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but because she is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, she is not given the same opportunities as her classmates. When a young educator notices her student's untapped potential and Melody starts to participate in mainstream education, Melody shows that what she has to say is more important than how she says it.
