Thank you very specially to everyone who helped make my film happen. The people who gave notes, who helped build me up to do something so impossible, and lent their creativity to this short. I will never be able to repay you all in this lifetime.
Excited to announce Can’t Float is having its world premiere at the Cleveland International Film Festival next month. Thanks to all my collaborators and friends who helped bring my vision to life. And especially to Ozzie. There’d be no movie without him.
🏊🏿♂️ We’re proud to lead the impact campaign advancing festival inclusion for 'Can’t Float', a warm, short comedy inspired by a true story, following a 30-something year old Black man who confronts his lifelong fear of swimming.
What begins as a personal challenge gradually reveals deeper cultural and historical layers, examining how race, access, and inherited anxieties shape who feels welcome in the water. 🌊
Anchored by humor and vulnerability, 'Can’t Float', directed by Dave Schilling (and based on his popular Guardian article, 🔗 in bio), explores the quiet courage it takes to face long-held fears, reclaim agency, and try something new later in life, offering a resonant and relatable story about growth, belonging, and the ripple effects of representation.
