  4. Today is World Autism Awareness Day. What is it like to be on the outside? To experience life in a different way? What is it like to see other people living full lives and know that you will never have that yourself? And what happens when you decide that you will not accept your fate but make your own? This is the story of Luke. And this is a story shared by many people on the autism spectrum, their families and their friends. I wrote the screenplay for “The Story of Luke” because I had seen too many examples of amazing behavior by individuals with developmental dissabilities and the people who love them. I had to write it. I had the fortune of meeting a group of amazing people along the way that shared my vision, expanded on it and got the project to where it is today. We always knew we wanted to make an unusual movie, a movie that entertained at the same time that it raised awareness. Today is World Autism Awareness Day and we would like to join our friends at Autism Speaks and many other organizations around the world in celebrating all the wonderful individuals that are in the autism spectrum and rallying for wider acceptance and inclusion. We are “Lighting it up Blue” by pledging a portion of our profits for use in international research and awareness campaigns. Autism affects everyone.

    Though at first glance Alonso Mayo’s The Story of Luke seems to be another entry into the tired “cute ‘n’ smarmy” army of indie films, at the end of the day it stands head and shoulders above its contemporaries largely due to an unforgettable protagonist who you can’t help but fall in love with. This film is pitch-perfect and though not groundbreaking in any way, it consistently hits the sweet spot with deeply touching moments that are guaranteed to win you over by the end.

    (…) Mayo and Pucci work together to create a portrayal of a young autistic male with authenticity and taste. Luke is not a caricature, nor is his condition understated. He comes off as simply a good-hearted person with a daunting goal that he is fighting with all his might to achieve. Who couldn’t relate to that? Luke’s battles to overcome his difficulties with communication are sometimes humorous, sometimes heart-breaking. His bravery and conviction are infectiously endearing.
