Picture
Overview
The proposed documentary is the story of autism service dogs, of the amazing lives that they touch, and of societies views on the world of autism. The social environment which we live in has rules, but it is in constant flux, always changing as cultures mix, as do individuals with disabilities.
This 70 minute film will show conversations with volunteers and trainers, as well as respected individuals in the autism community. But most of all, it will introduce audiences to families who’s lives have been directly affected by autism, and in turn, by these special dogs.
Weaving together information, as well as visually showing a respectful portrait of the way these dogs help in daily life, we will create a positive picture of the autism community and the special relationships inside of it.
NOTE: This film is already IN PRODUCTION. In part, the funds would be used for post-production services and to help get the film out into the community through festivals, etc.
