If it didn’t tag someone, it’s me, not them, lol. There are so many amazing people that donated so much of themselves to make it happen.

More than half of the cast and crew in Once More, Like Rain Man are neurodiverse. The other half they put up with our NT oddities.

GeekFest Film Fests - anyone have pics to post of the panels? Women of Sci-Fi LA Filmmakers

As an autistic actress and filmmaker Bella Zoe is breaking some barriers! She developed the character of Glory and Injustice to NOT be autistic / because her disability doesn’t define her. Autism means autism, not less. Besides, who seriously wants to be “normal?”

We had never actually been to a comicon before. Next is Long Beach Comic Con and Expo and Los Angeles Comic Con! It was a blast. Met a ton of super cool weird people like us. 😉

Just won GeekFest Film Fests Comic Con Revolution - Ontario last weekend! And Best Of Fest!

Who says an autistic girl can’t pretend to be a supervillain?

"Don't you girls see--they're showing you a 'past' without you."

We shot the investor promo for my next short film (directed by Sue Ann Pien) about making a place in Hollywood history for autistic talent in front of and behind the camera--and, in this case, autistic females.

If you'd like to contribute and make this film a part of entertainment history--either as a star cameo or with financial backing--please let us know ASAP!

Thanks to the generous Palace Theatre for letting us shoot the promo there.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.
