I Can

About this Short Film

I Can, directed by Cory Reeder (United States, 2021), is a short film that explores perception, emotion and the everyday realities of young adults living with physical disability. Using images of crutches and group interaction, the film asks viewers to re-examine how they see ability and difference. It balances intimate moments of feeling and doubt with wider scenes that shift viewpoint and group dynamics, creating a thoughtful, human portrait. Screened as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, I Can fits neatly within our programme celebrating films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.
