Shia LaBeouf has a message for YOU! Shia’s breakout film, The Peanut Butter Falcon, co-starring Global’s Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Award winner, Zack Gottsagen, is now the most successful indie film of the year! Last year at Global’s Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show, co-stars Shia and Dakota Johnson danced on stage with Zack as he accepted his award with celebratory roars from Armory Films producers and writers/directors Tyler and Michael below in the audience.

Zack and his crew had planned to attend this year but we are thrilled to announce they cannot – BECAUSE (wait for it) – Zack’s performance in The Peanut Butter Falcon has earned Oscar buzz and the entire crew needs to be in LA so that Zack can be the FIRST (but not last) actor with Down syndrome to be nominated for an Academy Award!

Global is a proud executive producer of the film, and wants more actors with Down syndrome in Hollywood! Please join us in our fight for health and research equity for people with Down syndrome at the LARGEST fundraiser for Down syndrome in the world! Learn more here: www.bebeautifulbeyourself.org
