Plenty of fun, networking, food, drinks and film were on offer at the annual Cincinnati ReelAbilities Film Festival, organized by Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled.
Thousands attended the four-day, star-studded event that benefited 28 nonprofit organizations.
It kicked off with a Meet the Stars Q&A Event with many of the event’s celebrity VIPs. A luncheon featured actor RJ Mitte, plus many other parties, receptions and screenings, including two veterans tributes, an interfaith breakfast, a Cocktails and Zombies Party, and a Closing Local Films Night bash.
Guests also participated in workshops. Screenings of 60 films entertained — and also transformed – the way guests perceive differences, appreciate and welcome one another.
Co-Chairs were Kim Vincent, Jenny McCloy and Dave Parker.
