Some of you know my daughter has Down Syndrome. This has lead to a lot of joy, as many challenges and a whole bunch of one of a kind opportunities. Here’s the latest.
My lovely wife finds a post that was quickly apparently taken down. It’s a call for auditions for a public service announcement. We figure what the heck, and shoot the audition video on a phone while at a hotel in NYC. We were there for the National Down Syndrome Society’s 30th anniversary buddy walk. My daughter was on the Jumbotron in Times Square that weekend, hence the coast to coast trip. Later that weekend we randomly run into a few employees of NDSS. All of them are charming, and one of them turns out to be in charge of the public service announcement that we submitted the audition for. We get home, and get an email to schedule for a callback. The callback is with the director. Apparently he liked what he saw - a couple of days ago, we find out our daughter has a part in the PSA! We have no idea what the part is. We just know we show up in LA for wardrobe one day, filming the next. I think my daughter is charmed. The amazing things we’ve done because of her are nearly countless.
