“Let them hear you.” Melody Brooks (starring Phoebe-Rae Taylor), a sixth grader with cerebral palsy, has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but because she is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, she is not given the same opportunities as her classmates. When a young educator notices her student’s untapped potential and Melody starts to participate in mainstream education, Melody shows that what she has to say is more important than how she says it. Out of My Mind is directed by British-American actor / filmmaker Amber Sealey, director of the films A Plus D, How to Cheat, No Light & No Land Anywhere, and No Man of God previously. The screenplay is written by Daniel Stiepleman. Based on the novel of the same name by Sharon M. Draper. Produced by Dan Angel, Michael B. Clark, Robert Kessel, and Peter Saraf.
