Thank you so much to Q***r Vision! Picture Girl is about first connection, high-masking autism, and the courage it takes to be seen, so sharing it in a space that celebrates q***r voices and the diversity of our community feels especially meaningful. We’re absolutely delighted that our film, produced by a neurodivergent-strong crew and cast, and written by an autistic q***r woman, can be a part of this awesome festival.

There will also be a voting system for this screening, so whether you are at the festival or wishing us luck from home, help vote for Picture Girl to bring it to the top!

Picture Girl
directed by Simon Brown
written by Mitzi Smishkewych Kosovske
produced by Wolodymyr Smishkewych

The viewing audience will vote on their choice for the Audience Award after the screening.
