Calling all learning disabled film makers!
The Sit Down Shutup and Watch (SDSW) Film Festival will be on again in October 2022!
Entries are now open for films that were made with a learning disabled person in a key creative role. Films can be submitted on Film Freeway with a $15 entry fee and film selection will be made by the SDSW Committee which is made up of filmmakers and artists with learning disability.
To live in a world where learning disabled people achieve their creative dreams and screen their work in Times Square, on iPhones and on every screen in-between.
