About this Short Film
Even If You Laugh is a 2025 short by Australian filmmaker Nathan Dunning. Brief and bright, it brings themes of achievement, adult life with cerebral palsy, comedy and individuality into the light. The film reflects on living and laughing while navigating the world with a congenital disability and wheelchair use, without reducing those experiences to a single note. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it contributes to a program that celebrates real people, real talents and real humour. A thoughtful, human snapshot, this film offers audiences a chance to see disability described through warmth, wit and personal perspective.
