The Divergent Gift; Unboxing Autism
 is a feature length documentary project, produced by an international team of Autistic and Neurodivergent creatives. Capturing the complicated zeitgeist amid this rising diagnosis demographic, The Divergent Gift touches firmly on the exposed nerve of the neurodiversity movement—uniquely combining intimate, subject-led stories of truly diverse lives, with vibrant and visceral animated sequences that immerse viewers into these experiences like no film before it.
With DEI programs and efforts under attack, join us from anywhere in the world for this HYBRID event dedicated to fostering greater acceptance of neurodiversity. This film focuses on deepening positive Autistic Identity through visualizing the various unseen challenges, gifts, abilities, and interests of those labeled as a (so called) “mild” presentation of the autism spectrum. The Divergent Gift also weaves in the profoundly intimate personal journey of filmmaker, Bret Malley, exposing exactly what it means to wonder, and ultimately answer—am I in the spectrum?
In addition to getting a sneak peek, hear live Q and A with some of the Autistic subjects and creatives, and help us raise funds for the final stages of post production, including hiring the film Composer and Colorist, both of whom are also Autistic. Together we can get this documentary across the finish line and out into the world so everyone can see it!
