Chromosomally Enhanced: What’s Your Superpower? premiere this past Tuesday night will definitely be one of those special memorial evenings that will forever remind us of the enthusiastic, caring nature of those with Down syndrome that live and work among us.
After almost 3 years, thanks to Paul Glantz and the Novi Emagine Theater team, our film Chromosomally Enhanced: What’s your Superpower? had its debut to a full theater of 320 guests that included our Down syndrome featured stars, family members, and some notable community leaders, including JJ Johnson from WOMC radio and singer/songwriter Jill Jack whose song, “Super Hero” closes the film. Retired Detroit Lions player, Eric Hipple, opened the evening with insightful comments about what can be learned from those living and thriving with Down syndrome. Eric is featured in the film with retired Detroit Lions player Lomas Brown.
One of the big highlights of the evening was the poster signing with eleven of our featured superheroes. Smiles, smiles, and more smiles were had by all.
The closing evening comments were filled with positive emotion and enthusiasm for the world to see this film of those living and thriving with Down syndrome among us.
"This film captures the essence of people with Down syndrome, highlighting the extraordinary in the ordinary. Expect to come away with a refreshed understanding of what is possible when we all believe in each other." - Brian Skotko, MD, MPH/Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Down Syndrome Program.
