Kevin Healey said ‘I’m so pleased I’ve finally found the right producer Andrew has autism himself like me so whom ideally could make such a great film drama, I’ve seen Andrews work and he’s such a young talented filmmaker with Asperger Syndrome.
I’ve felt for so many years that autism is not correctly portrayed, most film are based on savants like the rainman, everyone with autism is different and no two people are the same, the drama film we be based on around my life growing up when I was about 8, so the scene is set it the very early 80’s, it will feature various scenes, funny scenes, dramatic screens, bullying, school life and home life, I’m really excited about it, the film is a short lasting about 20 mins we hope that one day it will be turned into a full feature film, and hopefully be entered into film festivals to showcase this amazing drama.
