No, Yes, Maybe...

So, first the bad news - no luck with Sundance. The only heartening thing is we're in good company (only 16 documentaries were chosen out of 841).

Uggh, ok some good news - we're committed more than ever to getting the film out there! You may have noticed our new trailer.

Also, we've submitted Neurotypical to a few more festivals: DOXA Documentary Film Festival, Hot Springs Documentary Festival, London International Documentary Festival, Nashville Film Festival, RiverRun International Film Festival, Sheffield Docu/Fest, Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, Silverdocs and Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival.

Last, if you feel the spirit, we're working to raise $12,000 to help us achieve these goals:

• Travel expenses for the makers and participants in the film to facilitate dialogue wherever Neurotypical is shown.

• Professional sound mix and color correction to enhance the sensory impact of the film.

• High Resolution festival dubs (believe it or not, these professional copies run $250 a pop).

Donations are tax-deductible: www.fracturedatlas.org/site/contribute/donate/1062

A heartfelt thanks to all for your participation as we work to complete this important project!

Keep your fingers crossed. We just sent a copy of Neurotypical to Sundance (along with probably 1000 others). :-)

Exciting news - Neurotypical can now officially be called a rough cut! After 3 ½ years and 40 interviews later, we edited nearly 80 hours of footage down to a 1 ½ hour film. So it took a little longer than our August deadline, but whose counting? We can't wait share it with you!

A Simple Sound

Nearly halfway to finishing a rough cut, but no film is complete without a score. Today Michael Wall, an amazing multi-instrumentalist and composer, agreed to create the music for Neurotypical. Very cool because now we have someone to collaborate with!
