ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I am autistic and people on the spectrum don't have opportunities in the film industry. I have to make the opportunities for myself and prove to everyone that Autistics can do anything. This movie is a tribute to my 16 year old cousin who took his own life. It's a tribute to anyone who has been told you "can't". It's a tribute to the human spirit. It's the best I have to offer.
