About this Short Film
My Friend Chewie, directed by Cherie Stapleton, is a 2022 Australian short exploring achievement, learning and sensory disability. The film invites consideration of what independence and skill can mean for a young adult with blindness, and touches on practical aids referenced by its tags, such as a stick. As part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it contributes a thoughtful, human perspective on individual determination and the many ways people adapt and learn. Festival audiences can expect a brief, characterful work that highlights ability rather than limitation. Stapleton's film fits our program with warmth and quiet confidence.
