The documentary has since screened at several disability conferences and is being shown in classes and trainings in the greater Boston area.

Sports: Tufts Men’s Tennis vs Middlebury
Here’s the thing about tennis: It’s hard to take a decent tennis photo. It’s even harder to take a decent tennis photo where the player is making a flattering face. I took these for the Tufts Daily in April last year.
