About this Short Film
The Perfect Game: Jacqui's Road to Delhi (Jacqui Thomas, Australia, 2025) is a short film that explores themes of ambition, sport and the transition to young adulthood through the lens of intellectual disability. Thoughtful and hopeful in tone, it reflects on goals, individual drive and the supports that matter to people pursuing sporting dreams. Presented as part of the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work contributes to a wider conversation about ability, motivation and inclusion. Festival organisers invite audiences to watch with openness to different experiences and to consider how sport can be both personal challenge and community opportunity.

Film Transcript
What I most love about bowling is making friends, cheering each other on and giving each other high fives when we get a strike or a spare. My dream is to make friends that are in other countries. It means a lot to me to represent Australia, especially being my first time overseas. I can't wait to go to India for Special Olympics. So stay tuned for the next interview.
