This is my new mini-film entitled For Naoki. I recently read an incredible book called "The Reason I Jump" written by a young Japanese Autistic teen named Naoki Higashida. As the parent of a gifted autistic son, I found Naoki's book so insightful as to why my son - who is verbal and high-functioning - reacted to the world the way he does. Words could never thank you enough Naoki, so I made you this. I know you love nature and a nice long run deep into a forest would speak to you in ways I could never understand. I hope you enjoy this. Your book has done so much for me. .
