Update 2: Phase 1 Complete!

We officially finished filming in Kentucky Thursday, May 9th!

That marks the completion of the first phase of the project—capturing the story!

We also started an instagram page! Here is the profile name if you want to check it out: @setapartdoc

So many people contributed to the completion of this phase!

Thank You!

Thank you to the Tyner-Wilson family and Megan Russell for partnering in this project with such energy and enthusiasm. You have demonstrated tremendous courage in your journey itself, and to share it with others is also brave. 

Thank you to the folks of Lexington. You have an incredible community effort going on in the disability space which was inspiring to see. You also opened so many doors for us to be able to film Jay in his daily life. We cannot wait to celebrate you all in our final film. 

Thank you to all of those who have prayed for this project, donated financially, and helped spark it with connections and opportunities. It has all helped so much!

Our team is confident in what we have captured and we cannot wait to start piecing footage together for you all. 

Photos From Lexington

Here are some photos from the week we had together!

We completed eight interviews and had the opportunity to film Jay at a number of his activities thanks to the generosity of folks in Lexington. Pictured below are a few of the big moments.

What’s Next?

1. The team is putting together an initial trailer 

We are going to put together a teaser/trailer to give a taste of Jay's story and what we captured in Lexington. We already have it planned and once it is completed we will post it here and on our instagram (@setapartdoc).

2. Preparing for Phase 2 has started

Now that we have the story captured, we are looking to interview a theologian on the topic of faith and cognitive disability. Our hope is to have this portion completed in the coming months! We will announce an official launch for this phase once we are ready to go for it. 

How Can You Support?

1. Prayer

Pray this project would yield the outcome we are aiming for: that it would help people savor the God-given dignity and beauty in all human beings with and without cognitive disabilities, and inspire our communities to embody God's vision for inclusion and belonging. 

2. Share this project

If you know someone who would be encouraged by this project and like to follow along, toss them the link to our website and instagram page! 

3. Stay Tuned

Keep an eye out for more updates to come! The trailer will be here in a bit, we have an official launch for phase 2 to come, and more. 

Cheers!
