Janet Grillo, a producer (Autism: The Musical, Searching for Paradise), former New Line executive, and writer/director (the short, Flying Lessons), has directed her first feature, Fly Away. From the film’s website:

Based on the award-winning short Flying Lessons, Fly Away tells the moving story of a single mother, Jeanne, grappling with the challenge of raising her autistic teenage daughter, Mandy. As Mandy becomes more and more unmanageable, so too does Jeanne?s life. Over the period of two weeks, Jeanne is confronted with the most difficult decision a parent can make: to let go, allowing her child to grow, but also grow apart, or to hold on tight and fall together.

The filmmakers are currently in post-production, so look for the film in 2011. The trailer is below.

    Wow, that looks like some real heavy stuff- I both want to see it and not want to see it. Looks very emotional.

    Raising an autistic kid is tough. I personally know of 3 sets of parents that have a hard time with their autistic kids. This movie trailer clearly dipicts this.

    My heart goes out to parents with disabilities. My sister has just had a baby which is severely disabled. Its too emotional to comprehend how she will cope. I hope this film helps.
