The Story of Luke Trailer
Luke, 25, is autistic and lives a sheltered life with his grandparents. But his world is suddenly turned upside down when his grandmother dies and he is forced to live with his dysfunctional relatives who have no patience for him or his senile grandfather, who they quickly force into a nursing home. Luke is left with his grandfather's final semi-coherent words: "Get a job. Find a girl. Live your own life. Be a man!" For the first time in his life, Luke has a mission. He is about to embark on a quest.

Educational Program 2013:
Thriving in a Hostile Environment - Women in Television/Film/Fashion
Thriving in the face of challenge and adversity can be a real mixed bag of tricks that can even include withdrawing at first and then coming back out swinging! While some women seem to be born with more resilience, the good news is that we can all can learn how to boost our ability to cope, thrive and flourish when the going gets tough. Please join us for a spirited conversation with a panel of self-defined, path-breaking women who have navigated through challenging personal and professional environments in the high profile entertainment and fashion industries and established themselves as successful professionals with fulfilling careers.
Panelists are Jessica Clark, Rose Garcia, Erin Kelly (Artistic Director of the BolderLife Festival) and Host Jessica Lawless.
Discussions will touch on the subjects of objectification and labeling vs. self definition, industry norms, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, eating disorders, drug abuse, personal definitions of success and the full spectrum of activism (both intentional and default acts).
Come hear panel member's personal stories as inspiration and join in an open dialogue about your own experiences in navigating your way through challenging environments.
