This year´s Easterseals Disability Film Challenge drew a 
record-breaking 95 entries and produced one clear breakout star: 
Sommer Carbuccia, a right above-knee amputee from Brooklyn. 
Carbuccia produced and starred in Mac & Cheese, which won top 
awards for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Editor.  

He was far from the only amputee filmmaker to shine in the 2022 
Challenge. Rachel Handler, a previous Challenge award winner, earned 
finalist nominations in two categories for Andy & Kaliope, while 
Melanie Waldman (also a prior Challenge honoree) co-starred in ILY, 
which took home the prize for Best Awareness Campaign.
