Interesting facts

Autism: The Musical is a 2007 American documentary television movie written and directed by Tricia Regan. The film recounts six months in the lives of five autistic children in Los Angeles, California as they write and rehearse for an original stage production.

Production

An idea for the film was first raised in July 2005, as a potential 48 Hour Film Project, but did not materialize. However, in that same year, noted acting coach Elaine Hall founded The Miracle Project, a nonprofit, Sherman Oaks, California based theater group for autistic and other disabled children. In late 2005, Tricia Regan began filming the six-month rehearsal process at Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services recreation room in Los Angeles.

In March 2007, reality show producer Bunim/Murray Productions expanded its business into films and made Autism: The Musical its first acquisition. Bunim/Murray Productions came on board toward the end of shooting to join In Effect Films in producing the film.
