First X is a groundbreaking short film about two people taking a chance on dating in a post-pandemic world.


The story portrays the vulnerability and anticipation of what it was like to experience that once in a lifetime “FIRST”.

The film co-stars Nicole Adler, a professional speaker, actor and equal rights advocate who identifies as being both a person with a disability and gay. As an activist for diversity and inclusion, Nicole believes It’s important to normalize the sexuality of someone with an extra chromosome by featuring story lines and narratives like “First X” in mainstream media. Nicole produced this film with the intention of demonstrating that love has the power to break down barriers and change the perspective of humanity to accept the idea that people with disabilities have the same desires to experience romantic relationships and love like everyone else.


The premiere of First X is dedicated to celebrating PRIDE and encouraging others to build a LOVE REVOLUTION.
