Director Statement

The idea for Wheels was highly inspired by my very dear friend "Brock Davis". He was born with Cerebral Palsy which is a condition of the muscles.

From what I have observed over my years with him I feel in general there is no malice in the word, "disabled" but the idea however comes with a lot of preconceived ideas and stigmas. For instance, there is a huge difference in physical and intellect disability, I have always observed people being extra nice to him and then socially isolating him for no reason.

I wanted to play with this idea, to dig in and examine it in a way that's both entertaining, thought-provoking, and more than a little weird. With Wheels, I want to make something fun and crazy, that will make the viewers both laugh and think. At various times, the script is sad, hilarious, puzzling, and even a little sexy. I've crammed a lot into Wheels, and I really think you'll enjoy it.
