The Gene And Dave Show
The Gene And Dave Show is a TV/web show. It is by, for, and about people with disabilities. The show is searching for stories from people with disabilities to share with their audience. If you have a disability and have built a satisfying life, your story may help others rebuild their lives.
Please post your video or slideshow story to YouTube and send the link AND a transcript to Gene@TheGeneAndDaveShow.com. We will not post your video without a transcript.
When we receive and screen a significant number of videos, we will post them on a new section of our site. This is not a contest. We're more concerned with content than the film's artistic quality.
