Ask Jordan a question!

Spencer Cook is a first time filmmaker, writer and actor whose short film, ACT OF GOD, won the audience award in the Texas Short Film category at SXSW.

Spencer also happens to have Muscular Dystrophy. His film hilariously (and honestly) portrays the struggles (both internal and external) that people in the disabled community have to live with. In his conversation with Jordan, Spencer shares his story of how he fell into the world of filmmaking, what inspired him to make ACT OF GOD and what is next for him on this journey.
