7 Stages
Written and directed by Michael Haverty and Erwin Maas
The life story, from birth to age 18, of a boy on the autistic spectrum and his obsession with, and escape into, the world of cinema, told through puppetry and live-feed video. Capturing his unique perception within the controlled frame of a camera, he is able to share films which bridge the common social/emotional divide which the spectrum engenders.
