Adrian Esposito had the opportunity to meet another film festival programer for possible future screenings of his two films Diffability Hollywood and Greetings from Tromaville.
Filmmaker Adrian Esposito was proud to present a short film he acted in with Self Advocates Steve Blum and Jessica Levesque called The Secret Origin of Mojoman at this year’s SANYS (Self Advocacy Association in New York State) conference in Albany, NY. Afterwards, Adrian, Steve and Jessica answered questions from anyone interested.
Later that day, Adrian Esposito presented his new film Diffability Hollywood to a warm reception. Troma and Hollywood actor and friend Bill Weeden was In attendance with his wife. Both traveled all the way from NYC to see the movie!

ABOUT THE FILM
Individuals with disabilities make up 20% of the population but their representation on TV and in movies is less that 1%. Filmmaker Adrian Esposito (winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Conference of Executives of the ARC) has autism and advocates for more inclusion of writers, directors and actors with DiFFabilities (different abilities) into the movie industry.
The film features interviews with some well known actors who share his vision: Johnny Knoxville, Edward Barbanell (The Ringer), Robert David Hall (CSI), Danny Woodburn (Seinfeld), Jamie Brewer (American Horror Story), Lauren Potter (Glee), Chris Burke (Life Goes On), Katherine Crawford (Graceland), and Joey Travolta.
