What are you doing? - a film about autism
'‘What are you doing?’ is our short documentary film aimed at teaching school aged children about acceptance and understanding of their peers with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Written by ‘The Other Country’ author Michael Whelan and narrated by television personality Tom Gleisner, the film includes enlightening interviews with the brothers, sisters, cousins and friends of children on the spectrum. Through beautiful imagery, engaging narrative and quirky animation, 'What are you doing?' sends the message that children with autism should be accepted, supported and encouraged by their peers to be a part of their community.
We have held 3 successful premieres of the film in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to an audience of over 500 guests. The film has received rave reviews from viewers and we are eager to share it with the rest of Australia soon.
"What are you doing?" will be distributed to all 10,000 schools across Australia in the coming months and we hope, in the future, throughout the world!
Visit the official film website www.whatareyoudoingfilm.com to see a preview of the film!
