Once More, Like Rain Man

‘It’s up to you to make a future that has you in it…’ We follow Zoe and her dad, Gerry in a ‘day in the life’ of an autistic actress running the gambit of stereotypes she has to deal with - and her dad’s battle in supporting her forging that path for herself - in a funny, frustrating, painful and sometimes triumphantly sarcastic kind of way.
