Screening of Powerful Documentary to be Followed by Press Conference with Producers and Featured Families

Autism Speaks Co-Founders Bob Wright (Chairman and CEO of NBC Universal) and Suzanne Wright, Gabrielle Reese, Laird Hamilton and MPAA President Dan Glickman will be among those on hand for the world premiere of the powerful, new documentary Autism Every Day at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, January 21 at 9:30am at Holiday IV-CINEMARK Holiday Village Cinemas, 1776 Park Avenue, in Park City, Utah.

The Wrights, who are also executive producers of the film, will be joined at a press conference immediately following the screening by Autism Every Day director/producer Lauren Thierry and Alison Singer, Katie Wright, Andreas Hildebrand, Jesse Mojica and Michele Burns, parents featured in the documentary.

Autism Every Day is a truthful, unvarnished portrayal of the 24-hour-a-day challenges faced by families as they confront the heartbreak of autism with uncompromising hope and unconditional love. The film, which is being screened out of competition, was directed by Lauren Thierry of the October Group and co-produced by Ms. Thierry and Eric Solomon of Milestone Video. Funding for the film was provided by Autism Speaks, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research. Additional screenings will take place January 22 and 27.
