GiGi’s Playhouse & The Peanut Butter Falcon. It starts with a promise.

The making of The Peanut Butter Falcon is not much different than the story of GiGi’s Playhouse!   Doing the impossible and changing the way the world views Down syndrome!  Like GiGi’s, this project started with a promise.  I promised GiGi I would change the way the world saw Down syndrome. Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz met Zack Gottsagen at a camp and promised to help make his dream of an actor come true. They realized the only way to do this was to write the story! In the process, an amazing story and beautiful movie is now being released.  They’re proud of the story and the message that you can accomplish something that somebody else says is impossible. “I believe humans constantly change our reality with our thoughts and stories. And the stories we tell become the world we live in.”
