Learn more- Our lives were profoundly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, but the autism community was hit especially hard. With changes to supports, routines, communication, and much more, the autism community had to find new ways to persevere.
Thriving on the Spectrum is a documentary about the Denver-Metro area's autism community in the face of this global challenge. Award-winning autistic filmmaker Scott Klumb jumped into this project with a sense of urgency and desire to capture the experience and the closeness of this community. Through intimate interviews with autistic individuals, teachers, employers, and professionals, the complex emotional fabric of this marginalized population is clearly articulated.
This film employs a variety of visual and storytelling approaches that express the multifaceted needs, interests, and efforts of a tight-knit and dedicated human family. Thriving on the Spectrum is a film about the autistic community of which the filmmaker himself is a part. Scott's genuine connection to the subject presents an authentic account that is at once vulnerable and resilient.
Scott directed this film, Thriving on the Spectrum, while experiencing the struggles of the pandemic as an autistic person first hand. He had plans to go to film festivals for my last documentary until everything was cancelled in person. At first he really struggled with losing the momentum of the success of the film and needed to find new ways to shift his mood. While filmmaking is a career for, it is first and foremost a passion that keeps Scott engaged with the world. He found ways to communicate through film that he can't otherwise do as an autistic person. After figuring out what to do with his time, Scott decided that he would document the experience that was unfolding around him.
