Best Summer Ever
Dir. Michael Parks Randa, Lauren Smitelli
US | 2020 | 80 min
A first-of-its-kind musical featuring a fully integrated cast and crew of disabled and non-disabled people. Sage (Shannon DeVido, Difficult People) and Anthony (Ricky Wilson, Jr.) had the best summer ever falling in love at camp. By a twist of fate, Sage arrives unexpectedly at the same high school as Anthony at the start of the new school year. Now faced with the drama of cliques, an evil cheerleader, and the illegal secret that keeps Sage's family on the move, they are forced to re-evaluate their relationship.
