I was particularly intrigued by Owen’s story. I was actually going through my Facebook newsfeed when I saw a video clip of Ron Suskind talking about his breakthrough with Owen when he discovered he could communicate with Owen through the voice of Iago. This was about a week or so before we attended the talk with Roger Williams. I think that this documentary will be a really great portrayal and representation of Owen’s personal story. I believe Mr. Williams mentioned that it would be shot from Owen’s point of view. That will be very effective in getting an accurate point of view about what it is really like for Owen. It will also provide an interesting window into Owen’s progress.
I was intrigued too by Roger Ross Williams new film he is working on ‘Life, Animated’. I think this will be a very interesting film because it is an interesting and unique story that has a large media aspect to it-Disney. I mentioned it to my friend, who loves disney, she has a blog and has been there almost 20 times. She says that she is surprised disney gave him the rights to do this movie. I am excited to see this movie and happy that he got to bring Oscar to Disney’s studios in California and add to his love of animated films. I like how he collaborated with Disney and Oscar. I think this shows that films can break barriers, whether it is social or media.
