We have an exciting opportunity for you to be involved in our upcoming feature film 'When Time Got Louder'! Producer/Writer/Director Connie Cocchia, is a sibling to a young man impacted by autism and is making a film that touches upon the every day experiences of families living with autism (and related disorders). In January 2020, we will be posting a request for families with an individual impacted by autism (and related disorders) to submit holiday videos that can be used ...in the credits at the end of the film. We invite you to keep this in mind over the holidays and capture video footage of your family enjoying your holiday traditions, and/or the winter season. Stay tuned in 2020 for details on how to submit! Here is an example of the types of videos we will be seeking! Please spread the word to families who may want to be involved - and Happy Holidays!

With dimmed lights, no music, and more.
