CINEMABILITY is developed and conceived by a disabled handicapped 40 year old woman who is wheel chair bound and has limited mobility in her arms and her neck and head due to Muscular Dystrophy.

The film is a documentary about the representation of disabled and handicapped portrayals in film and television.  The film covers the inspiring history of the films dating back from 1930's to now.  Jane Seymour narrates the film and interviews include: Ben Affleck, Jamie Foxx, William H.Macy, Marlee Matlin, Geena Davis, Beau Bridges, Gary Sinise, Kyle MacLachlan, Garry Marshall, Taylor Hackford, Michael Apted, The Farrelly Brothers, Gale Anne Hurd, Tom Sherak, Marc Cherry, Vince Gilligan, Camryn Manheim, Kellie Martin, Geri Jewell, Robert David Hall, Ken Howard, and Peter Bogdanovich just to name a few.

What's even more extraordinary is Jenni's story - She is a member of the DGA and has been for a while since 1999.  She's been mostly producing and this is her 2nd feature film and one that is very near and dear to her. She is a woman living with Muscular Dystrophy and the disease continues to be debilitating.  When she was a young girl on a telethon at the age of 8 years old, she decided that she wanted to be behind the camera and make films and entertainment.  And now, here she is with her 2nd film.

Her determination and passion is infectious and inspiring.  And it seems like Hollywood thinks so too. She's qualifying the film for the OSCARS and putting it in theaters and REGAL THEATERS has come on board to play her film theatrically around the country and provided her with her New York qualifying engagement at the Regal E-Walk Cinema in Times Square early this month.  In addition, RON MEYER of Universal and producer GALE ANNE HURD are huge fans of the film and are sharing the film with their friends and colleagues.  The MPAA loves the film and the film received  an MPAA rating of PG13.

The film's website: http://www.cinemability.com lists all of the people who have supported her from TODD AO to SOUND DELUX to REGAL, and many, many more!

From the early days of silent films to present day, from Chaplin to X-Men, disability portrayals are ever changing. This dynamic documentary takes a detailed look at the evolution of “disability” in entertainment by going behind the scenes to interview Filmmakers, Studio Executives, Film Historians, and Celebrities, and by utilizing vivid clips from Hollywood’s most beloved motion pictures and television programs to focus attention on the powerful impact that entertainment and the media can have on society.

Do disability portrayals in the media impact society or does the media simply reflect our ever-changing attitudes? This important documentary aims to find out if the media has had a hand in transforming the societal inclusion of the disabled and determine if an enlightened understanding of disability can have a positive impact on the world...Get your tickets now, while you still can!
