"Turning The Corner,' a coming-of-age comedy
focusing on a quadriplegic coming of age is complete and the production
company, NickelJar Productions, is submitting it to film festivals and
seeks theatrical distribution.
The film's writer and director, Daniel M. McCormack,
is a quadriplegic. McCormack believes the film is unique in that the quadriplegic
character is an active member of the mainstream community. Albert, the
quadriplegic character, is a college student with an active social life;
his concerns and pursuits go beyond his disability. McCormack also
believes his own disability gives the film an honesty that is refreshing.
"Albert is not defined by his physical limitations.
He is seen as a person first, with his disability only part of who he is."
Invacare Corporation provided a power wheelchair for
the movie. McCormack said the wheelchair should be nominated for "best
in a supporting role."
McCormack also served as the film's producer. The
completion of "Turning The Corner" is the culmination of three years' efforts,
which included securing private financing.
