What do you want to be when you grow up? If you could do one thing, what would it be?
I asked these questions of 35 Key West residents with intellectual and physical disabilities. Over the next 12 months the MARC House residents stood before my camera and transformed into a fighter pilot, a fireman, a villain… even James Bond.
Authenticity was key. Real sets for real dreams. A coach’s portrait on a real football field during a live practice. A doctor’s portrait in a new CAT scan facility. A City of Key West fire engine and an authentic squad car. Each scene brought challenges, but they were far outweighed by the rewards and gave the community a chance to see these remarkable residents in a new light.
