About the Film:
Born with a rare condition requiring over 50 cranial reconstructive surgeries, 36-year-old Corey searches for normalcy, love, and acceptance in a swipe-left, swipe-right world. The film follows Corey’s daily activities to show how his facial difference affects his life, friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, and career, and how these experiences shape his personality and perspective.
‘Don’t Look Away’ was named “Best Short Doc Film 2024” at the Toronto Documentary and Short Film Festival and placed second for “Best Short Doc Film 2024” at the New Jersey Documentary Film Festival.
About the Workshop:
Following the film, Joseph and Corey will facilitate an interactive workshop on the impact of the film, providing space for discussion and resource sharing. Topics include finding your voice with self compassion and navigating personal relationships.
This event is presented as part of our annual Dialogue on Disability, a partnership between the Al Sigl Community of Agencies and WXXI, in conjunction with the Herman and Margaret Schwartz Community Series. Dialogue on Disability is supported by the Fred L. Emerson Foundation with additional support from The Golisano Foundation.
