About this Short Film
Rachel Handler’s So You Wanna Be an Actor (United States, 2021) is a short that sits comfortably in our Focus on Ability programme. Rather than offering a story summary, the film explores themes around acting, viewpoint and perception, and the presence of young people with physical disability. It draws attention to how a group dynamic and the experience of an amputee performer can shape what we notice on screen. Warm and observant in tone, the piece invites audiences to rethink assumptions about ability and performance. A concise, thoughtful contribution to the festival, it highlights the diversity of talent and perspective in contemporary short cinema.
