About this Short Film

Making Dough, directed by Cody Osborne (Australia, 2021), is a short film that highlights themes of achievement, business and employment for young adults with intellectual and congenital disabilities, including Down syndrome. Rather than prescribing a single story, it presents moments that speak to work, teamwork and personal progress. The film sits well within the Focus on Ability program, which celebrates the talents and ambitions of people with disability. Audiences can expect a warm, respectful portrayal that prompts reflection on inclusion, access to employment and the everyday successes that matter to individuals and their communities.

Wow - what an amazing film story. The world needs more parents like Kevin Kylie. They have left no stone unturned to give their youngest son every opportunity to succeed in life.
