Premiere of "First X" Followed by a Conversation with Cast and Crew

First X is a groundbreaking independent short film about two people taking a chance on dating in a post-pandemic world. The story portrays the vulnerability and anticipation of what it was like to experience that once-in-a-lifetime “FIRST”.
The film co-stars Nicole Adler, a professional speaker, actor and equal rights advocate who identifies as being both a person with a disability and gay. As an activist for diversity and inclusion, Nicole believes It’s important to normalize the sexuality of someone with an extra chromosome by featuring story lines and narratives like “First X” in mainstream media.
Nicole co-produced this film with the intention of demonstrating that love has the power to break down barriers and change society's perceptions about people with disabilities having the same desires to experience romantic relationships and love like everyone else.
The premiere of “First X” is dedicated to celebrating 2023 PRIDE MONTH in June, and is followed by a meaningful conversation with the cast and crew. To schedule a screening and conversation for your organization or PRIDE event, email us at [e-mail]
