A short drama drawn from my own family's experience with autism.

This is a short film I wrote, produced, and directed. It was my first time producing, which presented an interesting challenge. Securing locations and paperwork added more work, but it was fulfilling and rewarding. This film was a deeply personal project for me, as it was largely inspired by my mother and the relationship we have. It has been selected to several film festivals from across the globe, and has received critical acclaim in the press. Not to mention it has won a few awards, for story, for acting, and for overall film. It’s also been nominated for a few awards, too! This is my proudest work, and I highly encourage you to check it out!
