Sprout's travel program for people with I/DD, serves over 1,800 people annually, and the Make-A-Movie Program has produced several award-winning videos featuring people with developmental disabilities as actors and as subjects of documentaries. Sprout Film Festival, the first and only festival to exclusively showcase films featuring people with developmental disabilities, tours the US and Canada. Sproutflix is the only distributor of films specifically and exclusively related to the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We'll disuss everythig Sprout, Anthony's passion and work, travel, storytelling through documentaries and films, how individuals with I/DD become involved, and the difference it makes in their lives and the lives of others.
