I'm looking for an agent/ screenwriter/ producer - whatever is needed, who, like myself, is driven with a passion to produce a dystopian movie or series where the main actor is reliant on a wheelchair. My teenager has cerebral palsy and relies on his wheelchair to get around. He constantly asks me when will there be a movie or series where the hero of the story is also reliant on a wheelchair, rather than the typical story of 'how the wheelchair-bound person manages to navigate life.' I have heard similar from others. Let's get this happening!
My diverse dystopian dylogy has won multiple awards, and I would love to see it on the screen. Here's a brief synopsis:
In Somnium, Claudia lives in a world where people live out their passions by day, and at night, through the virtual world Somnium, they can do anything and go anywhere with just a thought. Claudia loves the virtual world where she can be herself. However, when Somnium is corrupted by the evil Melanie, humankind is at risk of elimination. Claudia won't let her cerebral palsy get in the way of stopping the downfall of the human race.
In Somnium - Reawakened, all the adults are dying mysteriously, and after Claudia and her husband dies, their daughter Lisa and her best friend Avignon discover Somnium, which the world had been hiding from their generation. Lisa believes that reinstating Somnium may stop the few remaining adults from death and is faced with the choice to reinstate the program. Her best friend Avignon (who is on the autism spectrum) isn't so sure.
When it becomes apparent that Lisa is the only one who can get Somnium up and running again, she is faced with a choice, and what she chooses will change the future of not only those she loves but the world as she knows it.

I'm looking forward to hearing from those interested, or any advice people have for me.
