Reel Encounters: Be My Brother, Flying Anne, Dancing Outside the Box, Sensory Overload, Autism in Love
Be My Brother: A young man with Down Syndrome breaks down the barriers of social prejudice when his charm and charisma challenge the prejudices of a stranger at a bus stop.
Flying Anne: Eleven-year-old Anne is the kind of beautiful girl you can't take your eyes off. The longer you look, the more you see her 'tics' from her Tourette's syndrome- she suddenly spins or licks something. Anne is afraid of being teased at school and tries to keep her tics in check though she prefers 'flying' through life, so no one notices her tics.
Dancing Outside the Box: Wheelchair users and able-bodied partners bring their two worlds together on the dance floor, proving that everyone can dance.
Sensory Overload: This animation gives the viewer a glimpse into the sensory overload experienced by people with autism and shows how often sensory experiences intertwine in everyday life.
Autism in Love: RV Kusser is a clever and dapper man of 50 with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He has learned to suppress certain behaviors so he can fully embrace life. He and his wife, Marlene, share secretes about their bond and RV reveals the true meaning of unconditional love.
