An impassioned preacher to characters and the audience could sound like a raging bull and trigger an involuntary protective reflex out of Michael. A unique blend of sounds that express his detachment, softness, and dream-like state. In his lack of dialogue, the audience will experience moments of silence to convey his felt isolation and longing to communicate.
This a personal story and attention to this detail is important. Every key character will have their humanity brought to the fore and leave a lasting impression on the audience. Unlike the bleak realism most dramas take, this film explores the dark circumstances and harsh truths using colours and light as tools for transcendence to reframe and illuminate. The cold, unforgiving nature of working-class London will contrast the warm, rich tones of an immigrant home, full of poetic history.
In lieu of verbal interaction, we immerse ourselves into the complexity of autism with moments of slowed motion and saturated colours. Elizabeth is an actor, writer, and theatre-producer based in London. Having graduated from Manchester University with a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and obtained an Acting Diploma from the Oxford School of Drama, she is currently working as a freelancer whilst being a full-time carer to her younger brother.
She also freelances as a theatre producer as part of Re:Con with Contact, Manchester. This will be her debut as a director. The motivation behind her work is an enduring interest in people; in the human spirit, its emotional resonance, and the way over time it manifests in our relationship with others.
Rachel Shenton A British actress, screenwriter, and activist. The Golden Boy may be a personal story, but its universality lies in its social impact. Presented through the lens of a nonspeaking autistic child, this film already lends itself to being a socially impactful conversation starter for all audiences.
This short film is mainly targeted for educational purposes and use by speech therapists, autism specialists, teachers, carers, and the autism community as a whole. For many 1st generation immigrant families, this story is archetypal and just a small part of a larger, more difficult societal problem.
Often alone in their pursuit to a diagnosis, these families fall through the cracks and are unable to trust in the system for support.
The Golden Boy can be instrumental for outreach programs, charities, and grassroot community groups to engage in a greater conversation about autism and bring non-attenders and those reluctant into the fold of discussion.
The team behind the project are committed to increasing the diversity of the film industry and believe this film spotlights a community that is currently under-represented.
Autism spectrum disorder ASD is a complex condition that affects how people communicate and interact with the world, and we are keen to hire actors who will give a non-stereotypical portrayal of these characters. The majority of our characters are from under-represented groups be it the visibility and representation of ethnicity, lower socioeconomic backgrounds or invisible disabilities.
With our casting choices we really want to address under-representation and challenge tropes and stereotypes, we look forward to casting a neurodiverse young Black British boy as our lead character. The motivation behind the making of this film is built upon months of liaison between charities, parent support groups, academics, and teachers, who all share in our goal to raise the awareness of autism.
It is important that we spotlight a community that seldom see themselves represented on screen and take the opportunity to cinematically portray a non-stereotypical lead character.
This film could be a great opportunity to highlight where support is needed and reflect on improving outreach. It is essential that we champion young children with invisible disabilities and give them a chance to tell their own story. The voice of neurodivergent people might not always be articulated in spoken language, and it is our hope that The Golden Boy embraces this.
