What we do?
We teach more than Filmmaking; we teach life skills that will impact your career and livelihood. In our program you will improve social skills development and career skill training. Helping a young adult with autism pursue a career in the film industry requires a supportive and inclusive approach that recognizes their unique talents and abilities.
