Objective
Bilander Media partnered with Able Americans on their “Faces of the Disability Crisis” campaign to tell the powerful story of Jonathan Ridenour, a young man living with a severe autism, and his father, who has dedicated his life to caring and advocating for him. Through intimate storytelling and cinematic visuals, we brought their experience to life—showing the dignity of every person, the challenges families face, and the urgent need for policies that don’t leave them behind. This project amplifies Able Americans’ mission to ensure every life is valued and every family is supported.

Results
Since launching the “Faces of the Disability Crisis” campaign, Able Americans has received more than 100,000 combined video views across platforms and more than 5,000 engagements. The series has been featured on numerous podcasts, including “How the World Works” with Kevin Williamson.
