Spencer Cook And Parker Smith's Comedic Short ACT OF GOD Selected For Palm Springs Shortfest
Directing duo Spencer Cook and Parker Smith's ACT OF GOD is based on a true story.
ACT OF GOD will screen at Palm Springs International Shortfest this month.
Directing duo Spencer Cook and Parker Smith's ACT OF GOD is based on a true story. This comedic yet touching story of friendship was inspired by their unique bond, they met when Parker was Spencer's caregiver. ACT OF GOD explores the tension between self-reliance and true independence and has been selected for the Oscar-qualifying Palm Springs International Shortfest.
Stuart, a disabled man, isn't the most honest guy when it comes to asking for help. Total self-reliance is his goal, which is tough when you can't get out of bed on your own.
Spencer Cook and Parker Smith are both Austin Texas-based filmmakers. Cook being a lifelong wheelchair user is also a disability activist. Smith shot, edited, and directed his debut feature RAMBLIN FREAK as a one-man crew, going on to a world premiere at SXSW Film Festival in 2017. When he is not making films, he still works as Spencer's primary caregiver.
This whimsical duo also co-wrote and co-produced ACT OF GOD along with Matthew Harrington and Samantha Jean Robinson. The stunning cinematography is thanks to Taylor Camarot.
