Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMildly Different was expected to be filmed in 2020; however, funding was not fully established until May 2021. The director, alongside Sticky Tape Productions, spent 2 years raising $39k, mainly on Seed and Spark, where one of the requirements (in the website FAQ section) is that a representative must be a permanent resident of the USA or Canada, unless they are part of a company (which was the case here). The film was also funded with an 8k grant from a Disability Connect Scheme funded by Arts and Disability Ireland (for residents of the Republic of Ireland), in order to make the film. The film went into production late July of 2021 and was completed in October of 2021.
Featured review
Delicate and soulful portrayal of autism from the inside
Delicately imbued with powerful messages rather than drenched in preachy ones, this stunning short film shows a snapshot of moments in life...from overwhelming childhood parties to awkard moments at office socials, this is autism from the inside, beautifully and articulately demonstrated to the wider world.
Rather than dictating, it asks viewers to join the dots for themselves. That's a brave move, and it works.
As the parent of autistic twins, co-founder of AuKids magazine, author and trainer, I'll be referencing it in my work.
Well done to the entire team for a perfect piece of film-making. It will benefit so many people and help to dispel myths and build understanding.
