United States of Autism Movie: Upcoming Film Festival Delays Nebraska Premiere
AWN Nebraska had planned to do a showing of the United States of Autism Movie in December 2011, however, due to the prospect of upcoming film festivals, Executive Producer, Rich Everts is bound by eligibility requirements to postpone the Nebraska showing until a later date. AWN Nebraska and Everts would still like to coordinate a Nebraska showing of the US of Autism Movie after all film festival eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Details will be forthcoming as soon as they are available.
Some of you might have been hearing buzz on Twitter/seeing stuff on Facebook/seeing other info around the Interwebs about the ANCA 2010 Inaugural International Naturally Autistic Awards. The award ceremony was held yesterday in Vancouver, BC. Awards were given in several categories to both adult and youth arists on the autism spectrum, as well as community leader awards. A list of the award recipients, along with other info, is in this post on my blog, Woman With Asperger's: http://womanwithaspergers.com/2010/10/31/thank-you-anca/ I received the Adult International Literary Award for an unpublished collection of poems, "Novena".
On June 16th, AWN Radio began our online coverage of a truly unique journey as the crew of the United States of Autism Documentary prepares to set off to travel coast to coast to capture the diversity of the autism spectrum across America.
AWN Radio welcomed the film's Executive Producer and Director, Richard Everts, and if you missed our live broadcast, you can listen to the interview anytime here.
