Kristen (Kristen Abate) is a 20-something New Yorker, dreams of being a writer while making ends meet walking dogs. Her life is anything but easy as she lives with Ankylosing Spondylitis, which causes her spine to fuse and leaves her permanently hunched over. When she is evicted from her apartment, her professional and personal dreams seem farther away than ever until she meets Steven, a new client also living with AS. The two learn, together, that they are far more than their disabilities, as Steven (Steven Tannenbaum) helps her learn to live life to the fullest, even in the toughest of circumstances. The film, directed by Abate and Tannenbaum, is a true-to-life story of resilience, hope, and growth and has been delighting audiences on the festival circuit this year.

This film will be presented with Open Captions and the on stage presentations will include ASL interpretation.
