US of Autism Film Submitted to TriBeCa Film Festival
The United States of Autism film has made its official submission to the first of many film festivals–the TriBeCa Film Festival in New York, NY.
If selected the film will be screened at the 11th Annual Tribeca Film Festival which will be held between April 18 – 29, 2012. This would be fantastic as it would be held during Autism Awareness Month!
Our whole team and the families involved are super excited to be one step closer towards getting the film out to all of you. Thanks for joining us in this amazing journey!

US of Autism Film Trailer Featured in Sioux City and Iowa News
Our film trailer appeared this morning on KMEG 14′s newscast based out of Sioux City, close to Rock Rapids, Iowa where we filmed the Wessels family. Erika Thomas was there that morning, bright and early, to interview us ( see photos) and it was appropriate somehow that she would be the one discussing the trailer on her morning news channel. Thank you again Erika for helping push forward the autism community through this film, and we’re looking forward to coming out to see you, the Wessels, and all the great folks in Iowa and Sioux Falls again soon!
