12 – Alex Lehman made “Asperger’s Are Us”
from My First Feature Hosted by Ethan Cushing
Director Alex Lehman sits down to discuss his first feature, the documentary called “Asperger’s Are Us“, a coming of age story about the first comedy troupe comprised of all openly autistic people. Alex chats about taking the leap of faith to fly to Boston and film the group, knowing when to use your connections (and when not to), and playing to your strengths as a filmmaker. Asperger’s Are Us debuted on Netflix in October alongside Alex’s first narrative feature “Blue Jay” starring Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson. Every other week host Ethan Cushing interviews a new filmmaker about the process of directing their first feature film. Follow us on Twitter and subscribe/rate us on iTunes!
