Happy National Camera Day!!! As you can see I have quite the camera collection. Cameras help spark my creativity and I love every moment of it. I have a busy schedule ahead of me and can’t wait to have my next film shoot for Autism Ability with the Disability Film Challenge grant money and turn my winning film into a feature documentary.
Here I am at the Spring Grove Caledonia Film Festival Sheboygan where Thriving on the Spectrum won Best Short Documentary!
I’ve been working hard on future projects. I can’t wait to share them with all of you.
After a successful Film Festival run, it is time for me to release Thriving on the Spectrum online for free. It will be online next Tuesday, June 21st. If you are interested in checking out my multi-award-winning documentary, please leave a comment below. Thank you for all of the love and support. I can’t wait to share it with all of you!
The past couple years have been amazing for my film career and I cannot wait to see what is in store for me next.
I’m looking forward to attending more film festivals in person in the near future.
My hard work out filming and in my office editing has paid off. A lot of film festivals are loving my documentary Thriving on the Spectrum. I want to thank everyone involved who made this film possible.
Scott Klumb studied film and post-production at Colorado Film School and went on to establish SMK Media in Boulder, CO. An award-winning filmmaker who learned of his autism in adulthood, Scott Klumb is the creator behind the autobiographical movie Autism: One Man’s Journey.
Autism: One Man’s Journey is a combined memoir and documentary that explores late autism diagnoses; it relates the filmmaker’s experiences and challenges of growing up undiagnosed. The film also includes an interview with scientist and leading neurodiversity advocate, Dr. Temple Grandin, one of the first people to document their autistic experience.
Through these perspectives and Klumb’s artistic cinematography, Autism: One Man’s Journey seeks to expand dialogue around autism beyond childhood. It is a reminder of how many people do not receive a diagnosis until adulthood, which in turn creates confusion, aggravates health issues, and limits access to resources that are available to people who learn about their autism as children. Late-diagnosed individuals often do not learn adaptation skills or receive support outside the neurotypical framework; rather, they can be misdiagnosed with other conditions such as anxiety disorders. However, as the documentary also reminds the viewers, autistic adults are not alone in their challenges and stories; there are support systems for late diagnosis, and it is possible to grow one’s abilities and find purpose through a renewed understanding of the self.
