ABOUT THE FILM
This project began when director Michael McKinley was researching material for another idea he was developing. During a conversation with David Ault, founder of Kaleidoscope Child, the topic of David’s nonprofit—Kaleidoscope Child Foundation—naturally came up. It quickly became clear that this was a story meant to be seen and heard. What started as a simple conversation soon grew into a featured documentary about a cause close to the director’s heart.
Michael is naturally drawn to uplifting stories that deserve to be shared with the world. His first film, Happy, is a wonderful example of that passion and has received numerous awards. You can watch it HERE. In the meantime, be sure to visit our NEWS section, where Michael shares insights into the making of Kaleidoscope Child, highlights the many people involved, and talks about plans for the film’s future.
