The 19-minute film opens with Randy introducing us to his world (narration) – albeit in sarcasm. The audience will quickly warm to Emanuel’s beautiful portrayal – sprinkled with comedy. Randy’s goal is to pass a final dexterity test that will enable him a live a normal life. His neurological condition limits his movement – or as Randy would say; “I’m just a lame ass cripple”. Bruce B. Gordon has delivered an important film that doesn’t shy away from showcasing the disability in action. The entire short is set within one-location – flawless characterisation and dialogue help to maintain audience engagement.
