Cloud Boy: An Autistic Journey

April 2nd is the Autism Awareness Day and therefore Jacob Frey thought he'd share one of the first video projects he created. In 2006 Jacob Frey applied at the Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam and as an application exercise had to create a video to "being locked in a room". His skillset back then was very limited and he just started to dive into video software. Even though Jacob Frey got accepted to their course he instead decided to gamble and wait for the application results at Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg. Luckily he managed to get one of the few spots and started his path towards becoming an animator.

A young boy struggles to get through to his mum because of his severe autism. This short film is made to raise more awareness about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). When I saw the struggle people with autism and their relatives go through--every day--I realized: if only people would be able to take a look inside the world of someone with autism, if only people would understand a little of what it really means for them, many judgments and dismissive actions towards people with autism, can be turned into motivating and stimulating actions. Understanding is the key for a change of behavior. It is my hope this film will create more of this understanding.
