But that is truly the beauty of Spirit of Love.It really has appeal for a a broader demographic than I ever believed. As I have said it is not a Deaf or Hearing film. It is a family film with many elements
that will appeal to a lot of different age ranges,and people groups.It's a film that addresses stereotypes from many angles,and crushes them.It breaks barriers regarding,size,shape,race,abilities, and in some peoples eyes disabilities.As the Producer and Director I say there is NO "D"isabilities word in this film.Instead you have an amazing cast made up of some diverse and fantastic people,both in front of and behind the camera.
It's RAW but sweet.Strong but Compassionate.Silent but Musical.Christian and Faith based but not Religious.
Certain skills were more difficult for some cast members then others. But not once did I ever hear the words "I can't" even from those who were trying to shoot difficult baskets. I remember specifically one scene when one of our teen actors was trying so hard to make a basket during a pivotal scene in the film who never gave up.He would say I can do better.He was so inspiring that 200 extras playing sports fans hung around just to watch, began standing and cheering and encouraging him.
This young man will never play for the NBA or basketball at a competitive level as you and I know it.However he and others in this film will inspire you to understand that no matter what label or tag were each given in Life we can choose to to make our own path and impact others in ways that only
God knows.
Whether you love sports,basketball,competition,teens pulling pranks just trying to survive life or not, Spirit of Love will encourage you to see "A"bilities and NOT "D"isabilities.
