Summary
On this special bonus episode, we sit down with filmmaker Anthony Lucero, writer and director of Paper Bag Plan, a moving film that shines a light on the realities of family caregiving, disability advocacy, and long term planning for individuals with special needs. Drawing from his own deeply personal experiences, Anthony shares how caring for his physically disabled brother and coping with the loss of his sister (who left behind a daughter with special needs) inspired the story behind Paper Bag Plan. The film serves as both a heartfelt tribute to family caregivers and an exploration of one of the most pressing questions many families face: What happens to a child with a disability when their parents or primary caregivers are no longer able to provide support? During the conversation, Anthony discusses the emotional journey of creating the film, the importance of raising awareness about caregiving challenges, and the need for families to engage in future planning for loved ones with disabilities.
