“My Own Normal is, most appropriately, a documentary that reinforces the normalcy of the disabled life along with those with disabilities living, loving, working, playing, parenting, chasing dreams, and creating families.”

“In My Own Normal, Alexander has opened the door to his home, his love life, and his family dynamic in a beautiful attempt to encourage more people to understand a life that doesn’t necessarily look like their own.”

“My Own Normal is a gripping exploration of the challenges of new parenthood, heightened by the complexities of Freeman’s diagnosis.”

“My Own Normal is one of the most beautiful films I’ve seen in 2024. It’s an hour-long documentary made by Alexander Freeman, a man living with severe cerebral palsy who wanted to share his story and life with the world as to break the stigmas surrounding disabled people. Now, while no two disabled individuals are the same, seeing this doc about one who has found not only career success but also made a loving family brought tears to my eyes not only for its honesty, but for how inspiring it could be for others within the disabled community. My Own Normal provides a much-needed exploration into disability life and its possibilities that shouldn’t leave a dry eye in the room.”

“Alexander Freeman is a real reel filmmaker, that’s for sure. And his movie is as tangible as a touch and a grasp. That’s indeed something that only a few artists can convey.”

“My Own Normal doesn’t ask for sympathy but exists as an unapologetic and deeply personal account of life, love, and self-definition. It doesn’t try to change minds—it simply presents a reality that few get to see, which challenges outdated notions about disability without making it the sole focus. Alexander Freeman, the filmmaker, and the main subject, has spent years crafting work highlighting underrepresented voices, tackling themes of disability, mental health, and relationships with rawness. But My Own Normal is his most personal project yet, and that immediacy makes it so compelling. The camera isn’t just documenting his life—it’s a tool that allows him to tell his story on his terms. It’s one thing to see a film about disability made by an outsider; it’s entirely different when the person at the center of the narrative is also shaping it. Freeman takes control of his narrative, refusing to let others dictate how his story should be told.”
