Thank you so much @katcoiro for all your support of the #easterseals @disabilityfilmchallenge We are so excited for you @leahj.zelaya We can’t wait to see you opposite @jlo and so many talented actors on the big screen!!! #Repost @katcoiro with @get_repost

I have served as a judge for the @disabilityfilmchallenge since 2014, which has given me the opportunity to see many talented performers with disabilities creating and performing in unique films. This experience, facilitated by @nicnovicki helped inform me and gave me a database of talented actors with disabilities. We used this database to audition many talented actors for @marrymemovie a @universalpictures film I am directing starring @jlo @maluma @johnbradleywest @michellebuteau @sarahkatesilverman and #owenwilson. In our film we created a role for @leahj.zelaya, a talented young disabled actress. The role features her adaptive dancing skills and my hope is that the 61 million Americans with disabilities see themselves in this role and that we see more representation in the future. special 💕 to @egt239 and @alexbrown32 for making it happen!
