Film Highlights
The documentary has been recognized in a multitude of festivals nationally and worldwide, receiving 14 Laurel Awards to date. From the New York Lift-Off Film Festival to the Bridges International Film Festival in Corinth, Greece, Possibilities has been leaving a lasting impact, showcasing the unforgettable path that Helen Keller shaped for today's generation.
Recently, on March 29th, 2025, attendees at the Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ, filled the theater steps from the world-famous Jersey Shore boardwalk to watch a screening of the AFB documentary. The screening was completely sold out, with over 215 attendees, and was well received by the audience. So much so that the following evening, the film's director Bill Sarine accepted the Broader Vision Documentary Award, given out to the top full-length documentary film at the festival.
