THE OPEN AIR To avoid a home for adults with disabilities, a young man with Down syndrome tricks his sister into a trip through the South Island of New Zealand to find the rest of their family, and themselves. Actor Cole Sibus attached! 2027 Sundance lab 2nd round #screenpit

We're making a short film! We are in pre-production on the proof of concept for my feature THE OPEN AIR, but we need your help! Please consider making a tax deductible donation through The Redwood Film Foundation via the Google form below, or if you feel more comfortable sending a check or Zelle you can email Aminah Hughes at [email protected] and she will give you instructions. Please take a second to watch this special message from our lead actor, @ColeSibus, on why THE OPEN AIR is so important to him and the Down syndrome community! Your investment will help pay for Cole and his mom's travel to Nashville for the two-day shoot, paying our local Nashville cast and crew, renting our gear, post-production costs such as sound and coloring, and - most importantly - feeding everyone during the day! Crafty is very important 😉 Cole is best known for playing the character Ansel on ABC's "Stumptown". He is such a wonderful person and perfectly embodies the playful and curious spirit of Jake, who I based off of my own son Sam. Donate here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
