Fort Worth Filmmakers Plan ‘First-Ever’ Buddy Comedy Starring Actors with Down Syndrome

A young woman with Down syndrome smiling proudly in front of a step-and-repeat banner at the Best Buddies Leadership Conference. She is wearing a white T-shirt that says “I’m IN” in colorful letters, standing in front of the Best Buddies logo, which features two abstract human figures holding hands.

The first buddy comedy movie starring two actors with Down syndrome is being planned by Fort Worth-based Out of Order Studios.

The groundbreaking feature film, called “Monsters vs. Muncy,” will star Zack Gottsagen (“The Peanut Butter Falcon”) and David DeSanctis (“Where Hope Grows”). Lauren Potter (“Glee”) also stars in the film, producers said. The film is set to shoot in Texas, Out of Order said.
