LEARN HOW TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE NEXT SDP PROJECT
BECOME AN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Spitting Distance Pictures is participating in the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge (EDFC), March 24-29, 2026.
We will have 6 days to write, film, edit and create a short film.
This is a special film challenge for our team. This is our first time participating in the EDFC. We regularly do other film challenges and our team is always made up of those who are typically under-represented in film, so the EDFC challenge is right up our alley.
Our small team consists of 10 cast and crew in Seattle and 2 cast members in New York City. Many of our teammates are people with disabilities.
You can see our laurels and awards here: spittingdistancepictures.com
