A Deeper Look: David DeSanctis’s Performance

One of the film’s most powerful assets is David DeSanctis, an actor with Down syndrome who plays Produce.

Director George Ratliff allowed DeSanctis to shape much of the dialogue, resulting in one of the most genuine portrayals of intellectual disability in modern cinema. where hope grows2014hdripxvidetrg
