Run time: 63 min. | USA
Already the winner of three Audience Choice awards since its festival premiere in April 2009, SHOOTING BEAUTY tells the unforgettable story of an aspiring fashion photographer named Courtney Bent whose career takes a life changing turn when she discovers true beauty in a truly unexpected place: at a center for people living with significant disabilities. When she begins inventing cameras her new friends can use, a surprising story unfolds that initial reviewers are calling “more than a film… a masterpiece.” [NewEnglandFilm.com] Many of the photographers are non-verbal. Some take pictures using only their tongue. But when the group sets their sights on creating a museum-worthy exhibit of their work, they must overcome a skeptical public, relationship issues, and even death in the effort to bring their unique perspective to light. As the photographers strive to break down the barriers that too often keep them hidden from public view, this film will make you rethink what it means to live with a disability-- and without one.

"There are few times in cinema history that one is swept away with a wave of emotions and taken on a journey that is so unique... The films that come to mind: “Elephant Man” “Cinema Paradiso” “Life is Beautiful”… and that is exactly what “Shooting Beauty” does with one exception – it is not scripted… [Quick Stop Entertainment.com]Hollyshorts
