Get to know the filmmaker:

What motivated me was the subject matter and living through personal experiences. Having autism myself and being in the same room with other autistic kids, many of us have one thing in common. We want acceptance. Seeing Hollywood’s take of it, they failed to bring awareness. It needs more attention and handled with the proper care. Making A Friend is a huge passion project of mine, and I want to bring audiences not just into the world of autism but to bring people together.
