Film Overview

Zeno Mountain Farm is a Vermont non-profit organization that hosts an annual film camp for people of all abilities. BECOMING BULLETPROOF takes us along as these wonderful individuals film and star in the ambitious “Bulletproof” – a Western movie replete with gunslingers, barroom brawls, and damsels in distress. Focusing on several of the actors during the shoot, whose disabilities range from cerebral palsy to Williams Syndrome, this documentary is humorous and heartwarming while also working as a behind-the-scenes look into how movies are made. Famed commercial director Michael Barnett does an impeccable job of getting the audience right next to the stars and filmmakers of “Bulletproof,” making it inevitable you’ll not only root for the people, but for the final product as well. An inspiring documentary for sure, BECOMING BULLETPROOF is about “making an awesome movie, not a statement.” – T.W.
