OUCARES Film Premier

In this post I would like to talk about an upcoming event in Metro Detroit this weekend.  On Saturday October 15 at 7:00 p.m. the Oakland University Center for Autism Research, Education, and Support (OUCARES) will be hosting their 6th annual Film Premier. 

In late August, I wrote a post about a film camp offered by OUCARES.  I witnessed many of the wonderful experiences offered for children and teens with autism.  Acclaimed actor/director Joey Travolta led a professional film crew to give these autistic children an opportunity of a lifetime.  Travolta and his crew taught these kids to write, act, direct, and edit their own film.  This Film Premier is a red carpet event where these kids will be recognized for their accomplishments. Travolta will serve as honorary chairperson for the event.
