Unusual documentary features film-within-the-film
“Becoming Bulletproof” is a documentary about a group of disabled adults who work together to make a Hollywood-style film. The film showcases the Zeno Mountain Farm, a nonprofit organization that gathers both disabled and able-bodied actors to produce movies. The group’s first foray into the Western genre, the costume drama “Bulletproof,” is chronicled as we watch the film-within-the film take shape.<br /><br />This dedicated group meets annually at Zeno Mountain Farm in Vermont to write, produce, and star in original short films. Founded by two brothers and their wives, Zeno Mountain’s philosophy is to create an inclusive community that builds genuine friendships and transcends stigma and stereotypes. For them, their films aren’t about making a statement. As one participant says, “It’s all about making awesome movies.”<br /><br />Though the community is high-functioning, their disabilities aren’t minor, including cerebral palsy and speech impairment. The young star of “Bulletproof,” Jeremy Vest, is afflicted with Williams syndrome, in which learning disabilities and development delays are balanced by highly social personalities, good verbal abilities and musical talent. Each disabled actor is paired with an abled one, and bonds have formed as the same groups return year after year. Though Zeno had shot several unreleased short films, the goal this time around was to produce “a real bona-fide movie” to enter into film festivals. The resulting Western is stylish and is framed with modern-day segments.<br /><br />All participants are treated professionally and are expected to perform assigned tasks on crew or as actors. There is no condescending whatsoever, which makes this documentary an homage to the ability of the group rather than to its shortcomings. A major drawback is the piecemeal way in which we see the Western. It would have been great to see the complete short film. The documentary switches back and forth between the making-of section and the movie being shot. Group members are interviewed, speaking about their disabilities but more enthusiastic about their contribution to “Bulletproof.”<br /><br />There are no bonus extras on the widescreen DVD release.
