Meet Oliver, a 12-year-old murder-mystery enthusiast with a vivid imagination and a rare genetic condition. Inspired by his love of the genre, Oliver sets out to bring his own mystery to the big screen. The script is written, the cast is set, and Oliver is ready to call “action” on his most ambitious venture yet. What unfolds is more than a creative project—it’s a powerful testament to friendship, resilience, and the magic that happens when a community comes together.

An intimate window into growing up with disabilities and the power of community, Kids Like Me celebrates what is possible through support and a whole lot of love. Directors Cynthia Lowen (Battleground) and Jon Cohrs (Backwater) craft a story that honors both Oliver’s remarkable vision and the realities his family navigates every day—revealing how creativity can transform challenges into connection.
