I'm doing a documentary about autism but the longer discriptive post in "autism activism" section is dead dead dead & I reeeeeeeeeeeeally need help with this:
This saturday we will start recording audio for our first PSA (it will be a sort of satire of autism speaks "I am Autism" obscenity) & we need videos of happy, proud, etc type moments of auties (you can email these to me at cheryls.copy @gmail.com) & audio files of people saying "I am autism" (you can use assistive technology to speak for you if you want, or friends or family members to represent you). We will include the names of people who donate these clips in the credits of the documentary.
We also would appreciate any economic assistance you are willing to give. If you donate through our kickstarter page you can rest assured that your credit/debit card will only be charged if enough people pledge to get to our minimum. In exchange, if you donate above a certain amount you will receive prizes/rewards, ranging from copies of the end product DVDs to original art by autistic artist Broken Toyland. If you would like to support us & help this project happen by donating, you can do so at: http://kck.st/bvs46f
If you're in the Albuquerque New Mexico area you are invited to come to our fundraiser/art auction at Warehouse 508 on May 19th. The address is 508 1st street NW ABQ 87102.
If you want to find out more about the doc or participate in the process you can check out the facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3 ... &ref=share
Anyway, I hope someone is interested in this & please get back to me by EMAIL at cheryls.copy @gmail.com. But please do comment on this post & I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks,
Cheryl
