ARTIST STATEMENT Autism affects one in every 88 children are diagnosed with autism. Take into consideration that the average American family has two kids or more. That means that even MORE siblings are affected than those that are diagnosed! The stars of "Touched By Autism" are friends of Mia: Christian Baker is one of her friends who is part of her Sibling Group and Paul Mikulskis is a classmate of hers who she's known for years and attends Boston Latin School. Autism changes lives: those affected by autism would not be as compassionate, as patient, or as open to anybody's situation as they just naturally have to become when touched by autism. Anyone who is touched by autism is left a different person. "Touched By Autism" is to serve as an eye-opener that makes people more aware to the fact that autism doesn't just affect the person diagnosed: it affects every single person the autistic person meets. More than that, it affects the people closest to them: in their family and in age, the closest would be their siblings. Outsiders most times forget about how autism affects the siblings and this video is to enlighten others to remember everyone that is affected. The siblings, besides the diagnosed, are those that are affected by autism the most.

Daniella, Josh and Phoebe applied independently to take part in the BFI Film Academy, a six week intensive filmmaking course delivered by Eastside Educational Trust. They were selected because they demonstrated a real passion for filmmaking and a desire to develop their skills beyond the work they were doing at school. With different backgrounds and levels of experience in filmmaking they came together as a team to create a short film – they contributed to all aspects of the production as well as attempting to achieve their own individual challenge in a specific role. Unlike many of the participants, these students decided to focus on a documentary about a subject which is very close to their hearts. It was hard work but their perseverance paid off and they were able to meet and interview many people to try and effect change in their community.

We’ve been talking and sharing stories with students from Egypt and Chicago. We’ve been learning about what life is like in both countries. Getting to know other people from other parts of the world through video clips and online platforms has been a great experience. We also loved how different people from different cultures can be; yet they manage to find what can draw them closer.

I’m Dillan and I collaborated with a few of my classmates, Harrisson Georgiou and Shahab Hendizadeh in creating an awareness announcement; our statement is as followed: Lets be real. The world’s available freshwater supply is declining at an alarming rate. We were assigned to create a PSA and thought that this was the perfect opportunity to alert the public on this abandoned issue. We decided unanimously that the audience should be everyone. We decided to pursue the PSA the way we did because it really shows the problem in a different way; a way that will not only attract a larger audience but will also persuade the viewers to do their part. It certainly persuaded us to do our part.

In our group we experienced what students have on teachers and how it reflects the students' performance and motivation in the class. Students should be more aware of their attitude towards their education. We chose to make a youth video about expressing the relationship between the student and the teachers. To portray the message, we interviewed teachers as well as students about one's feeling about the other individual. In the beginning of the video we introduced the topic in the terms of the student's point of view in a school scene. We started with students’ opinions on general school questions, in order to obtain the students' attention on the video's subject. Afterwards we obtained information on teachers' reflections on how important their job and their relationship with each other. In the program we used transitions; we also filmed the hallway scene on a hand held device for an aspect from a student. As a group we wanted it to be cartoonish so it would look flamboyant. The beginning and the end stand out in our film the most. We want others to see that they are a part of it. And we want to see improvement in students. The audience should feel that they should change for the benefit of the teachers, their peers, and most importantly themselves. We all learned how to use the Adobe Premiere program, how to use a camera, and how to interview people. Relating to our topic we learned how students affect the teachers. We have learned the appreciation of filmmaking. One negative thing we can include is that the program repeatedly shut down, it made it difficult for the project to prosper in a way that we planned.
