The Holiday Inn brand presents a documentary short directed by Stacy Peralta of Nonfiction Unlimited as part of the next phase of its “Change Your View” platform called the “Journey to Extraordinary” campaign. This new campaign celebrates the incredible journeys of its many guests, sharing their unique narratives through various digital channels. Journey to Extraordinary: Scott Rigsby tells the remarkable true story of Rigsby, a double-amputee, who was befriended by Julie Hilton, the owner of the Holiday Inn Resort in Panama City, Florida.
Rigsby lost his legs more than 20 years ago in an accident when he was just eighteen. He checked himself into the Holiday Inn Resort in Panama City Beach, where he eventually stayed for 10 weeks while being fitted with prosthetic limbs at a nearby hospital. At the resort he learned to walk again; and Ms. Hilton waived all of Scott’s expenses until he was able to pay. Journey to Extraordinary not only tells this amazing story, but captures Rigsby and Hilton’s emotional reunion 15 years later.
