Local Filmmaker Champions Artists With Disabilities

WXXI News/Beth Adams

A Rochester filmmaker is trying to pave the way for people with disabilities to be portrayed in a less stereotypical way in films and on TV.

Adrian Esposito has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. He's currently producing a film called "Diffability Hollywood".  Listen to an interview with Adrian by clicking on the LISTEN link above.

He will be taking part in a panel discussion this coming Tuesday night, May 31, at the Reel Mind Film series at the Cinema Theater after the 7 p.m. showing of the film "Planet Asperger".
