LIMP addresses the challenges those living with disabilities face when it comes to dating. For Sean, the challenge has always been acknowledging and explaining his limp. Sean was born with cerebral palsy, something he was largely accepting of until he started online dating and realized the men he would chat with would often lose interest as soon as he showed up with a limp. The short film speaks about the experiences he's had in covering up his disability with men he's been interested in. LIMP has screened in nearly twenty film festivals throughout the United States and United Kingdom and is available on REVRY, an LGBT streaming service in the U.S. and QueerBee, a streaming service in the U.K. Additionally, LIMP is now being taught in a curated comedy course in the U.K. called Homo Humour. His hope is that this film will continue to help people deal with the "conversational landmines" we all try and avoid when we date or simply meet new people. He would love to further develop the story and is looking for partners to help him do so.
