Thanks for taking the time to check out Strait Undercover!
We’re looking to create a film unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Inclusion is very important to us at Fish & Crown Creative and we need all the help we can get to make this dream a reality.
​
Did you know that people with disabilities appear in only 3-5% of mainstream TV and film despite 61 Million Americans identifying as having some sort of disability (that’s nearly 25%) It’s often an able body actor playing a person with special needs and only as a supporting character.
​
Our film features an extremely talented actor (Race Eberhardt) with Down syndrome as an undercover agent and the hero of the story. He has the guts to take the fight to the bad guys and ultimately saves the day.
​
Donations in both time, money and supplies are crucial to getting this film made. When you buy merch, we use every extra cent towards this movie. There are hard costs we will have to cover. Any role you or your organization chooses to play is greatly appreciated. We cherish ever resource available and look to make our donors proud that they are a part of Strait Undercover.
