About this Short Film
A Bold Choice, directed by Jessica Trueman (Australia, 2022), explores the themes of auditioning, perception and viewpoint through the lens of young adults with autism and cognitive processing disability. Rather than presenting a single narrative, the film offers moments that invite viewers to rethink how group settings and performance pressures are experienced differently. Shot with sensitivity and attention to detail, it prompts audiences to notice small gestures and shifts in understanding. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, A Bold Choice sits among works that celebrate ability, spark conversation about access, and broaden how we see talent and participation.
