Autism Film Program - Transportation Expense

By Amy Zhang | Marketing & Programs Coordinator

ACT Today!’s A Film Program for Adolescents with Autism took place from June 17th thru the 28th, changing the lives of 50 individuals with autism and their siblings.  Your generous donation fulfilled ACT Today!’s contract with Inclusion Films in providing transportation for the teachers and crew. The two-week program took place from 10-3pm each week day. Teachers and crew had to drive from their hotel to the program location at the Cox Communications headquarters. Your donation helped provide the funds associated with this transportation expense.

On June 17th, we had 50 program participants (38 with autism and 12 siblings) come together at the Cox Communications headquarter in San Diego, CA. These 50 individuals were introduced to the staff and crew of Inclusion Films, and met their 49 fellow filmmaking enthusiast. The next two weeks were filled with rolling cameras as footage was captured from their warm up in the morning, to tasks like screenwriting and group brainstorming, to the actual filming and acting of the script. At the end of the program, the participants created, from start to finish, the content of the documentary which will premiere on Friday, October 4th at the San Diego Film Festival.

It is very important to all of us at ACT Today! that we were able to continue this program as we saw the benefits immediately. We hope to be able to continue the program for future years and monitor the long-term progress as well.

On behalf of the 50 film participants and their families, thank you for your generous donation.
