Projects must have begun production as evidenced by a work-in-progress video. Check out the clip below with filmmakers Jason DaSilva and Leigh DaSilva, who received Open Call funds for their film WHEN I WALK, which looks at Jason's personal story who at the young age of 25 was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
