Quote:
Emmy-winning journalists Caren Zucker and John Donvan bring to documentary film the set of stories that made a bestseller of their acclaimed book, In A Different Key, The Story of Autism. A 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist, this narrative account of an unheralded civil rights movement was called “cinematic” by the Washington Post, and described by the New York Times “as if…filmed with a handheld camera.” This project aims to make its visual storytelling truly visual, by putting autism’s stunning and turbulent history on screen for the first time.
Thanks to your support, we are more than 60 percent of the way toward reaching our $1 million fundraising target, with filming underway already. We have completed location shoots in Arizona, California and Mississippi, and racked up more than two dozen interviews. Upcoming shoots are set up before year end in Texas, Alaska, New York and back to California.
The film is being produced in conjunction with BraveDog Productions, by four-time Emmy award-winning Editor and Producer Ray Conley.
