Disney+’s ‘Out of My Mind,’ Bleecker Street’s ‘Ezra’ Among Honorees for Authentic Portrayals of Disabled Communities
'Ezra' and 'Out of My Mind' are among the titles honored by the Rudderman Foundation for inclusive and authentic portrayals of disabled communities.
The coming-of-age drama “ Out of My Mind ” from Disney+ and Bleecker Street’s dramedy “ Ezra ” are among the films recognized by the Ruderman Family Foundation for their “groundbreaking commitment to disability inclusion in Hollywood.” The latter project features William A. Fitzgerald as Ezra himself, a youth with autism who stars opposite Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne and Robert De Niro. “It’s richly satisfying to be part of the movement for inclusivity in our field and to play even a small role in helping actors get a shot at truly representing their unique selves on screen and enlightening and educating the rest of us along the way.”
