The Opening Night screening of Color Book will be followed by a Q&A with special guests from the film.

Co-sponsored by the Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh + Inglis

A father and son seek healing after an emotional family loss in director David Fortune’s Color Book. Lucky, now a single father, finds himself challenged by the task of raising his 11-year-old son, Mason, an imaginative boy with Down syndrome who loves to draw and watch baseball. As they seek solace together, they set out to attend a baseball game in Metro Atlanta only to find that Murphy’s law is in full effect. Facing an odyssey of obstacles and mishaps, the duo discovers that the healing they seek is not to be found by reaching their destination but rather through the shared experience of their journey. This artistically crafted black-and-white directorial debut earned Fortune the prestigious Directors to Watch Award at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival and delivers a beautiful and heartfelt father and son story not to be forgotten.
