Join the City of West Hollywood’s Disabilities Advisory Board, Transgender Advisory Board and Women’s Advisory Board for a special community screening of Spectrum Laboratory’s award-winning film “Boys Don’t Wear Dresses” to celebrate the work of LGBTQ+ and Neurodiverse filmmakers as part of the City’s recognition of Autism Acceptance Month.

 “Boys Don’t Wear Dresses” is a coming-of-age fairytale about the struggles of an autistic transgender artist exploring new experiences, independence, and love. It is a family friendly fairytale based on “Cinderella” that incorporates live action and animation.  The winner of 10 awards, the film stars Brandon Rodriguez, Alexandra Billings (“The Connors” and “Wicked’s” Madame Morrible) and Carol Kane (“Annie Hall” and “The Princess Bride”) as the narrator.  

“Boys Don’t Wear Dresses” is based on real events and written by a Spectrum Laboratory film student, Aloni Schorin.  Founded in 2016, Spectrum Laboratory (Spec Labs, Inc.) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower young people with autism and special needs to create original works of film and music, illuminating the diversity of experience and sharing their unique perspectives.
