About this film

Grand Jury and Audience Award Winner, 2024 Slamdance Film Festival. Danny, a young man with muscular dystrophy who is disillusioned by failed relationships, steps out of his comfort zone and into the world of online dating. An unexpected match with Madi, an enigmatic photographer, challenges him to be vulnerable and sparks a profound journey of self-acceptance, discovering the extraordinary beauty of his unique body. Lead actor Danny Kurtzman, a physically disabled actor, model, entrepreneur, and advocate for the disabled community who was diagnosed with a muscular dystrophy at a young age, plays the fictional Danny and has never let his disability stop him from doing anything he put his mind to. Today his passion lies in making this world a more powerful place for all disabled individuals. Danny uses his platform to spread his disability pride and tell the world that despite being physically disabled that he says "there's nothing wrong with my body. It is perfect."
