Walt Disney Pictures is developing the dance drama Grace, which will center on a highly talented, disabled dancer
Said Wexler in a statement, “Grace’s journey is a reflection of so many real-life dancers, artists and athletes who push themselves to the limits. I am honored to be a part of the incredible team helping to further authentic representation and inclusive storytelling for the disabled community.”is a beautiful story about self-expression, identity, and what it means to be an artist. And as a disabled artist myself, I’m proud to be part of this step forward for authentic representation.
The project, based on an original story by Wexler, will be executive produced by Chelsie Hill, the longtime professional dancer and founder of the Rollettes, a Los Angeles-based wheelchair dance team. Hill, who herself was paralyzed after a car accident, will also act as a consultant. Said Hill, “This story will inspire anyone who thinks they’re limited from pursuing their wildest dreams — I wish I’d had a film like this when I was first injured.”
Wexler, who is represented by CAA and Felker Toczek, has been expanding into onscreen entertainment, partnering with Westbrook Studios on musical fantasy film, and the NFL on a documentary feature about Keith Adams, the Deaf football coach who led the California School for the Deaf Riverside on a historical season, as well as a separate narrative feature about Adams.
