The entire Living Resources community is bursting with pride as we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Nick Williams, a phenomenal 2018 graduate of the Living Resources College Program, The College Experience! Nick has just officially wrapped filming on a brand-new movie where he takes center stage as the lead actor.
Based on Nick’s own original screenplay and directed by the talented Lora Lee Ecobelli in collaboration with the Blue Horse Repertory Company, this project is a massive milestone.
We don’t want to give away too many spoilers just yet, but the film offers a brilliant, modern take on the classic Faustian tale: What happens when the extreme odds kick in and we get exactly what we want? As it turns out, what we want isn’t always what we expect.
Nick plays “Mark Austin,” a man who is suddenly catapulted into overnight fame and global acclaim as a movie superhero. Reaching the iconic success of Christopher Reeve, Mark finds himself chased by adoring fans and staring at his name in bright lights. But the core of the story lies in a powerful juxtaposition: While the world sees a flawless superhero, they often overlook the real man navigating the challenges of living with cerebral palsy. The film beautifully captures Mark’s internal and external struggles as he learns to handle sudden, unrelenting attention and unmasks the true hero within.
Nick’s dedication to his craft is an inspiration to us all, perfectly embodying the spirit of creativity, independence, and empowerment that we cherish in our community.
We cannot wait to see Nick shine on the silver screen. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official premiere this September!
