All of the following posts are archived posts created during the production of our film "Only Those Who Limp Allowed" from March 2013 to August 2013. Posts appear in order from oldest to newest. Older posts are on the bottom.


Film to be released on youtube August 7 2013 

After a few slight delays we have chosen the date of August 7th 2013 to release/upload “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” on youtube. The film is about a young 20 something with Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy as he adjusts to life with a roommate who sets him up on a blind date. A bunch of issues about disability,dating and identity come up.  2 versions of the film will be uploaded. One with captions for the deaf and one without any captions as I'v said before. If you would like to be notified when the film is uploaded please follow this blog! 
The blooper video and official trailer will be uploaded sometime later this month. If you would like to be notified when those videos are uploaded please follow this blog! 

July release?

We are close to finishing “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” and have decided to release/upload the film on youtube by the end of July. I don’t know the exact day it will be uploaded but I’ll post the date as soon as I can. 
A trailer and blooper video have also been made and will be released soon. The trailer for “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” is open captioned for deaf viewers just like the trailer for “Drama Sighted” The blooper video is not captioned at this time though.  

Bloopers and Promotion 

We are still editing “Only Those Who Limp Allowed”.  We are getting closer and closer to a finished product. We obviously didn’t release the film in June but we promise it is coming! My editor Rich is working on many projects at the same time as “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” so that accounts for some of the delay. 
I may release a blooper reel and an official trailer for “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” as well. If that happens they will be posted on this blog. 

Editing: Next Steps

I met with my editor Rich Brotman today. We made great progress on “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” and I’m certainly learning a lot. We figured out that an open captioned version for deaf viewers as well as a regular non-captioned version of the film will be uploaded to youtube(as 2 separate 20 minute videos) and the videos will be posted on this blog. We are still hoping to get the film uploaded at some point in June. I will post the release date as soon as I can. Thanks for your help Rich!!!  

Computer Problems and Editing

I had started editing “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” about 2 weeks ago in iMovie 08 and it was looking great. Then my computer died and I had to get a brand new computer. I may have to start editing all over again but there is a small chance I won’t have to if I can retrieve the data. I am hoping to still release “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” on youtube sometime next month. 

The release date of “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” on youtube will be sometime AFTER May 22 2013.  

Shooting is Complete: 

 We finished shooting “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” today. Everything went great! Although I didn’t shoot the last scene in the location I originally planned to, I think the location change was for the better. The actors did a fantastic job and I am SO proud of them!! Super special thanks to Rachel Handler,Jamie Petrone, Max Maksimaydis, and Daniel Liriano for being so patient with me through the process of filming and making this such a great experience!!! Thanks to Tamar Rogoff for the use of her apartment! 
The next step is editing and finishing up the music for the opening and closing credits of the film. I’ll continue to post updates on the post-production process so stay tuned!! 
Drama Sighted hits 1,000 Views
My first film “Drama Sighted” hit 1,000 views today!!!! If you want to watch it again click on the link or scroll down to where I have the film embed. http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/46603999144/drama-sighted-margot-cole-c-2011-plot-a  I am so proud of my little “Drama Sighted”!!!! when I was making the film I had no idea if I was ever going to get that many views. When you make a project like this you are never sure how people will react to it. People seemed to always have a good reaction to “Drama Sighted” when it was still a one-act play being performed at BrooklynOne Theater’s “A Playwright Grows In Brooklyn” youth playwriting contest but turning it into a film was a totally different ball game for me and I had to learn film making from scratch which was NOT easy to say the least but on days like today it is all worth it. I can’t wait for the day when “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” hits 1,000 views! Thanks to everyone who watched “Drama Sighted” on youtube!!! 

We have to delay finishing up shooting “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” slightly which means the release date of the film has to be delayed slightly as well but the film will be completed soon. More updates coming soon. 


Once again “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” is getting some early publicity thanks to Rachel Handler. We finish shooting on Sunday. 

My friend Walei Sabry and I are now working on the music score for “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” Walei Sabry did the music for “Drama Sighted” as well. Thanks for your help Walei! 

The sequel to “Drama Sighted” called “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” is currently in the process of being shot. “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” is getting some early publicity thanks to the wonderful Rachel Handler who plays Nellie in the film. Thanks Rachel!!
