A [recent post](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/180) mentioned the music video for ‘The Cave’, a song by the band Arrest My Sister (AMS). The track was actually directed and produced by Joey Travolta (older brother of actor John Travolta) of Inclusion Films. Indeed Scott Siegel, the lead singer of AMS who is on the Autism Spectrum, was an Inclusion Films student… > [@](#): > > …Founded by Joey Travolta … Inclusion Films trains adults with developmental disabilities in the nuts and bolts of filmmaking – from writing the script to building sets and using film and editing equipment – with the goal of finding them jobs in the entertainment industry or some other field. > Students with autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome are trained by working cinematographers, set designers, actors and other professionals who are active in the industry. > “The filmmaking process is a great teaching tool about life,” said Travolta, 61. “A lot of our students aren’t going to be filmmakers and may never work in the film business, but they are going to be able to go into the workplace and have a sense of what it’s like to be on the job. This builds their self-confidence.”… Here is a link to a television report on Inclusion Films from a few years back: [CBS News reports on Inclusion Films Workshop (2009) - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8xsc4brLzQ) (source: [On Location: Inclusion Films opens doors in Hollywood - latimes.com](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2011/12/on-location-inclusion-films-opens-doors-in-hollywood.html)) --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245)._
