About this Short Film
Will & Able (Daisy Thor-Poet, New Zealand, 2020) is a short that explores workplace inclusion, supported employment and the everyday realities of people with cognitive processing and congenital disabilities. Shot with care, it examines group dynamics, mental health and sustainable approaches to employment without sensationalising its subjects. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, the film offers a thoughtful contribution to conversations about accessibility and company practice. Audiences can expect a compassionate, grounded look at the challenges and strengths that shape work and community for people with disability, framed in a way that prompts reflection rather than prescription.

Daisy is an amazing up and coming filmmaker all the best to this film
Loved itClear story with an even clearer message.Beautiful color grading silky smooth shots with very creative yet delicate transitions. Slow mo shots were shown at the right moments to capture the essence of the moments. Felt the camera was never intrusive in anyway and that all the people involved were relaxed happy and comfortable during each scene.Great choreography between the camera the shot and the videographer.Loved it
