Movie scenes featuring a group of women bonding over wine aren’t hard to come by. But in the upcoming film Quarter, said scene packs a unique punch. Every one of the actors is a type 1 diabetic.
It’s just one of the ways writer, co-producer and star Kelsey Bascom is working to normalize living with type 1 diabetes both on camera and behind the scenes of her new film, an autobiographically inspired comedy about a young woman with T1D who's about to hit her quarter-century birthday as she deals with the ups and downs of her blood sugar levels and the ups and downs of her personal life.
“I had this idea as we were looking for background actors to be at the party. Wouldn’t it be cool if all of the women were actors who had type 1 diabetes,” says Bascom, who used her Instagram to spread the word and contacted friends of friends to fill the roles.
