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.

"Life's a Fight" documents the issue of teenage bullying, and explores how the landscape has evolved to include not only the schoolyard, but the internet as well. In this film we hear stories from teachers, parents, and victims, and learn from a group of local teens who saw an opportunity to take a stand.

This film was made by students from Oaxaca, Mexico and Ottawa, Canada during an AYV visit to Ottawa, Canada. The students saw that their film-making group was incredibly diverse and represented seven countries among the seven team members. This inspired them to create a film which represented the diversity they saw in their group and reflected the diversity of Canada as a whole. The students profile the diversity of their group while explain why people came and come to Canada, and what they achieve there. The highlight of the film is that the students realise that Canadian people from all cultures come together in peace and work together to create a multicultural and happy environment in which to live.

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.

"The Power of One", is a video that was made to show people that it only takes one person to make a difference. It shows how people in a group are influenced by those around them, and will not stop something they feel is wrong for fear of being rejected by the masses. If one person decides to step up to take action against the wrong they are seeing, it can cause a chain reaction amongst the crowd to stop what it is they are doing. This also has an application in life around our neighborhood or any other communities that we are apart of. This concept can also be applied to youth to teach them how to change the way individuals think and react to public situations for the better.
