“The Homecoming” is a self-funded film produced by former WHS alumnus Andrew Pilkington. The film is about a football star who loves to dance and falls in love at a dance camp. The film crew visited WHS on Friday, March 22 to film a locker room scene. The film has been in progress for about two years now and is expected to be complete in June or July of 2019.

“The bigger message of it is to celebrate disability culture and to show the world what they are missing. Not only is there a lot of talent out there, but including people with disabilities in film adds a dimension of creativity and joy,” co-executive producer Will Halby said. “It is an aspect of diversity that is all too often ignored. Instead of telling everyone what they should be doing, we decided why don’t we do it ourselves and show the world.”

Producer and WHS alumnus Andrew Pilkington watches as a scene is filmed. Pilkington has written, directed and produced a variety of other films featuring actors and actresses with disabilities. "He is good at everything and he's a workforce," co-executive producer Will Halby said. "Producing a film is an incredible amount of nitty-gritty details, and there are some people who are good at big picture stuff or creative stuff, but Andrew has the ability to blend all of those things and be a cohesive voice through it all.
