Joel Romeo, Supported Living Participant - 2014

Produced & Directed by Marcy Stone-Francois

Produced by Marcy Stone-Francois

At The Arc of King County, we provide Supported Living direct care to about 45 people and we see both the immediate need and tremendous benefits of community residential services. We know having a friendship or relationship with someone with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD) changes attitudes and beliefs about what people with I/DD can accomplish and raises expectations for what they can achieve and contribute in their lifetimes. 

The Supported Living model is the most cost-efficient for residential care and the most person-centered, connecting people with natural supports so they can thrive. Joel is a longtime program participant who has been embraced by his neighborhood community in Ballard. This film was produced and directed by Marcy Stone-Francois, edited by Mikhail Skopstov, with Cinematography by Futsam Tsegai and Cozell Wilson. Nobody Loves Joel Romeo won "Best Film" and "Best Original Score" at the 2014 International Documentary Challenge at Hot Docs International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada.
