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!
