The Tallest Dwarf

Co-presented by Little People of America, Making Waves Studios, and Hipline Oakland

Director Julie Wyman in person for Q&A with moderator, Eileen Norman (President of Little People of America (LPA))!

THE TALLEST DWARF charts filmmaker Julie Wyman’s quest to find her place within the little
people (LP) community at a moment when dwarf identity is poised to radically change. As Julie
unpacks the rumors of “partial dwarfism” in her family she finds that hers is the last of a body
type she has inherited. She joins forces with a group of dwarf artists to confront the legacy of
being fetishized and put on display. Together they create films that reclaim a complicated history
and speak back to the echoes of eugenics in the newly emerging pharmaceutical interventions
that make little people taller. Through its personal and expanding perspective, the film invites
audiences to a new way of seeing.
