Uploaded by STFFestival on Mar 3, 2009
A preview of a 35-minute documentary made by Greg Byers.
If acting wasn't a hard enough job to land, throw in being disabled and see what reaction you'd get. That's the challenge John Paizis and the folks at Performing Arts Studio West face every day in the entertainment biz.
"Acting Normal" is an intimate and cultural look at this group of individual's lives and showing that "normal" is what life gives you and what you decide to do with it.

GENIUS! Let's see someone with a disability get an academy award!
Actors are casted because they can pull up an emotion they felt in the past and 'become' the character. If they have never had the challenge of a disability; there is no place for a 'regular' actor, he will never be as good as the real thing. Shame on any casting dept to turn any of the real pro's away! Best of luck to the whole team behind this! BRAVO!
