The Masterpiece

This project was made possible by a grant from St. Paul’s Faith, Justice & the Arts initiative.

The Masterpiece follows Indianapolis local, Milton Keys, as he navigates life as a producer, music teacher, and preacher living with cerebral palsy. The short film and documentary explores Keys’ experiences facing ableism, his resilience and determination as he pursues his doctorate in ministry with a focus on disability in the church and school, to advocate for generations who come after him.  

The film premiered at Newfield’s on August 27, 2022 and has since been shown in the Indianapolis community and beyond. For more information visit Director Marc Bessiake’s website, bessiakevision.com.
