"Every once in awhile a light shines on invisible people, and this light can be a song, a film, a painting. And for that moment, the invisible becomes a reality." — D.K.

Keplinger's life was documented in King Gimp — the 1999 Short Documentary Academy Award® winner by Susan Hadary and William Whiteford, written by Dan Keplinger. Dan had a show at the Phyllis Kind Gallery in 2000 to coincide with the debut of the film, shown exclusively on HBO. He has since had a second and a third solo show at the Phyllis Kind Gallery in 2002 and 2004.

The King's Miracle, a seven-minute film chronicling the extraordinary life transformation of Keplinger since the Oscars, aired February 28th on the Discovery Health Channel.
