For the latest issue of Gentleman's Journal, we caught up with Adam Pearson, star of Aaron Schimberg's dark comedy A Different Man, which challenges perceptions of disability while begging questions about identity and appearance: “A good film will change what you think for a couple of days, and a great film will change how you think for the rest of your life, and we’re definitely in the great cinema business.” Click the link in bio for the full interview with Adam.

We did it!
We’re officially @SmileyCFA winners!
Our “The Fight” campaign film with Patron @AdamPearson won Gold in our category for the Smiley Charity Film Awards, and Silver in the People’s Choice category voted for by the public!
This shows that not only did our message of The Fight for Face Equality resonate with the judging panel, it also resonates with the general public as well. Thank you so much to everyone that voted for us!
Face Equality isn’t widely accepted as an everyday human right (yet!) Which is why winning in the Smiley Awards is so important. To help us continue to raise awareness, reach new people, and promote change.
We believe in a world free of barriers, where people with facial differences are thriving and proud to be themselves. We’ll get there, together!
The Fight continues…
