Down Syndrome Association of the LowCountry - Charleston, SC

Movie Information

I am writing to you today to tell you about a wonderful movie called Mr. Blue Sky that has just been released into a Babylon, New York theater. After watching the trailer for this movie, I was quickly drawn to the great possibilities it allowed for Down syndrome Awareness! This is a beautifully made film with well-known actors such as Chaney Kley who is best known for his role as "Kyle Walsh in the film "DARKNESS FALLS".  "HOME IMPROVEMENT'S" side kick, Richard Karn and actress Ashley Wolfe, whose last role was in the film "JEWEL" with Farrah Fawcett. 

First, let me tell you that our organization is making no money by contacting you about this film. We just think it is a great film and want to help others to see it!

Mr. Blue Sky is an unconventional love triangle between three childhood buddies; two girls, one born with Down syndrome, and one boy, who all grow up fighting who they are inside, how they are perceived by society as a whole, and who they ultimately strive to become as individuals through the obstacles that are inherently present.

This ground-breaking film explores the romantic relationship of a woman born with Down syndrome and a "normal" male, as perceived by today's society. Mr. Blue Sky attempts to break down society's barriers, much like "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" did in the 1960's, as it aims to "change lives" through "changing minds."

Mr. Blue Sky is a heart-grabbing story that will ultimately change the way society views all people as "individuals" first and foremost.

I would like to invite you to visit the website www.mrblueskymovie.com to see for yourself what great possibilities this movie could bring! Not only by bringing hope to new families of children with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities, but also, and maybe more importantly, the message it will bring to the general society that just because someone has a disability, does not mean they can not lead a "normal", productive life!

If you agree that this movie is something you would like to see in your local theater I will be happy to help you make that a reality.

All you have to do is call your theater and tell them you want Mr. Blue Sky! Explain to them that you represent your organization and tell them how many families/individuals are in your organization. (this will help them to know how many people may be interested in seeing this movie. the higher the number the better chance you have of getting it there) I have included the contact information necessary for you to give to the theater, so they can get this movie. 

Once you have the movie date planned, make a fun day for your members! This is a great way for you to spread awareness of your organization to your community and have fun at the same time! Plan a party! Have a raffle! Do whatever you want! But, have fun! 

Also, I invite you and all of your members to sign the "guest book" on the website. This will help the cast and crew know who wants this movie in their theater and will boost their ability to get it out world-wide.

What is Down Syndrome?

Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder which usually causes a delay in physical, intellectual and language development. The degree to which each individual is affected varies widely. The exact causes of Down syndrome are currently unknown, and although there are prenatal tests that can detect Down syndrome, there is at this time no method for prevention and no cure.
