Amber Sealey's film, 'Out of My Mind,' made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, leaving the audience at the Library Center Theatre emotionally moved. The Disney+ movie centers around Melody Brooks, portrayed by first-time performer Phoebe-Ray Taylor, a sixth grader living with cerebral palsy and navigating school as a nonverbal wheelchair user.
Melody's story showcases the power of assistive technology and the support of her devoted allies as she fights to be included in a mainstream classroom. The film beautifully exemplifies that what Melody has to say is immensely more important than how she says it.
