ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque man is opening up about how a new movie with a Santa Fe connection hits home, tackling a topic he hasn't seen yet in a Disney film.

But "Out of My Mind" also highlights a story not often told. It follows a sixth grader named Melody Brooks and her parents navigating her cerebral palsy. "I was really inspired and excited that more visibility is out there," said Travis Davis, an Albuquerque native who got a first look at the film. For him, it's personal. "I could relate to so many things in the movie and that's why after two minutes, I couldn't stop crying because it was a hard, but good watch," said Davis. Born with cerebral palsy himself, Davis now helps others and students at Sandia Preparatory School learn about disabilities. "Sometimes it's my own crutches that I have in my mind that I can't take off. And sometimes it just takes some time to remind myself that I'm able and capable of doing great things," he said. He also spreads awareness on his podcast, "Off The Crutch." On a recent episode, he was able to interview the director of the movie, Amber Sealey, who grew up in Santa Fe. "It was about trying to show what other people might see is the disability and what we want is for people to see her as a human," Sealey had said on the podcast. She also told Davis about the overwhelming amount of people who auditioned for the lead role. "Even though some of the folks she received tapes from were too old, they sent them anyway because they just wanted it to be made," said Davis. "Hearing that just made me really emotional because unless you're living with a disability or you're directly affected by it, it's really hard to understand the impact the disability has." He hopes the movie will start conversations, bring empathy, and change at least one life. "If it can impact more people on a greater scale then that makes it even better," he said. "Kids of that age, if they've never been around somebody who is non-verbal and in a wheelchair, that may be a little difficult for them to understand or embrace. But I think throughout the movie, the barriers get broken down and you see the main character is just like everybody else." People can listen to Off the Crutch podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Out of My Mind starts streaming on Disney+ on Friday.
