“Taking festival season by storm” 😊

THE STUPID BOY, an Oscar®-Qualified Live Action short, explores the intense encounter between an autistic teenager and a white supremacist. Winner of over 32 awards, this powerful film continues to make waves in the festival circuit.

3 new awards! We are so grateful for each and every bit of recognition that our film is getting.

Thanks to Festival Internazionale Del Cinema Povero in Ispra, Italy and to your audience for voting for our film! We love audience awards which sound even cooler in Italian: “Premio Del Pubblico”! Grazie Mille!! 🇮🇹

Thank you to the Jury of Prescott Film Festival in Arizona for awarding our film . We feel so honoured, AND we are looking forward to screening with you again on October 7th as part of MANHATTAN SHORT !! 🐎

Thank you to Religion Today Film Festival for the “In The Spirit Of Peace” award, and for these lovely words from the jury (via google translate):

“For its ability to excite and for the message it conveys, "The Stupid Boy" stands out as a small cinematic jewel that invites us to adopt new perspectives, bringing an original, brilliant contribution to the promotion of the values of peace and nonviolence . With reference to the wound of so-called religious terrorism, the film presents the disruptive consequences that a simple gesture can generate in people's lives, effectively intertwining the themes of recognition of what is different and the transformative force of love.”
