Little Theatre's Emerging Filmmakers program in Rochester (NY) is featuring a film called Aging Trees of Knowledge: Part Five: My Legacy (Gittel Jaskulski). Here is local news of it. The film maker is Adrian Esposito.

The New York Office of MR & DD has a profile of Esposito, who found his expression through the medium of film. Esposito has been actively engaged in film making since the age of 12, and he currently has his own film company Espocinema. An interest he is hoping to turn into a career.

Here's the trailer for an AS-related film he made at 16. (not captioned, sorry)

Esposito's focus seems to be on history and human rights issues. A new film is planned "We Can Shine - From Institutions to Independence, will focus on the positive changes that have occurred in the treatment of people with disabilities and on self determination in their lives." The documentary is intended to focus on Willowbrook. Sounds like a project that is needed. Much looking forward to Esposito's work in the future!
