“Autism Rocks!” a Project MyVoice production of 7 personal video stories, premiered to a full house at the Bijou Cinema May 28, 2013. As part of the civic journalism movement, Project MyVoice connects socially responsible and community-minded UO journalism students with underrepresented groups in Lane county that want to have a “voice.”
Through the art of digital storytelling and the practice of community engagement, heart warming and thought provoking stories are produced and shared through free public screenings at the Bijou theater each term. Our launching of the project features the local nonpro!t “Autism Rocks.” There are 7 stories here, all of them demonstrate the effectiveness and uniqueness of KindTree – Autism Rocks’ positive impact on our community.
