About this Short Film
A Day in the Life of (Lenny Seberry, Australia, 2022) offers a compact, thoughtful look at themes of challenge, perception and frustration. Set within a group context and touching on the experience of a young adult with physical disability, the film raises questions about viewpoint and how others see ability. Elements of DJ culture and the tag "Smard" appear in its texture, adding colour and context without spelling out a single narrative. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work complements the program by highlighting personal perspective and everyday resilience. It is a brief, resonant piece that invites reflection rather than answers.

Very insightful and makes one appreciate and be grateful for the little things and Nathan really is an inspiration seeing how happy he is living with such a disability. Thanks Lenny for creating this video we can all learn from.
You're a role model to my family. I also have SMARD and I'm almost 5. I face these challenges every day. Thank you for speaking for me when I can't. I wish everyone could have this training so we could be a more understanding world and thank you for the progress towards this.
Voted What a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing A Day In The Life of Nathan.
What a great concept for a short film Really interesting. ...and I relate my disability is my ability too ...responding to the challenge IS my strength. Well done to the whole team this film dives deep is gently confronting and gives me joyful vibes in perfect balance. At the end I realised I was applauding the screen. Thank you for making this film.
You are amazing Nathan you always inspire me as all people with a disability. Rachel thumbs up to you. This is so amazing. I have a disabled daughter and every time she gets knocked back with funds or equipment I always tell the people involved the same you spend just an hour or day in her shoes and then tell me way. Good luck to you all.

Perhaps we should all undertake these challenges - realising how difficult everyday tasks can be for some people will help us empathise with their situations and challenges. Very thought provoking.
