So it's it's really this commitment to uh
A belief that storytelling actually empowers people and audiences to to sort of see the world differently and maybe change hearts and minds, sometimes on important issues, and maybe change policy and maybe you know change laws and and certainly change social moray.
Um and you know I'm I'm really honored and privileged to be able to do this work.
And so I'm happy to I hope that introduction gave you a sense of sort of a gestal around where I come from.
Um as for specific
specific films, um, you know, we can sort of see how the conversation goes and I can I can talk about them as we as you ask questions.
Sure, that's a great question.
Um, so the G Word is broadly a feature documentary about giftedness.
Um over time it has evolved into kind of a film about giftedness and intelligence and neurodiversity.
And I've been using those three words, you know, kind of side by side um as the film has developed.
Um yes, I I do have a personal stake in these conversations.
Um so by way of background, God, I mean it's funny, I was looking at the first emails.
I mean, yeah, th something landed in my inbox in twenty twelve about this, and it was from a gentleman called Ron Toriello, um, who is my producer on the film.
And Ron reached out to me because he was noticing some interesting trends in his kids' gifted school.
a private school in in Silicon Valley called Helios.
And as a guy who was sort of, you know, taking a break from work because he'd had a a health crisis and was sort of had, you know, a little more time to kind of work on personal projects.
He was differentiating and kind of, you know
interested in writing about giftedness.
And so he
reached out to me and asked me if I would come down and maybe find some film students who would uh you know film some interviews for him for a uh maybe a book project.
