Lehmann’s Asperger's Are Us to premiere on Netflix December 11, 2016
Alex Lehmann was born in France
and studied film at Emerson College in Boston. He’s the director of Blue Jay,
his first narrative feature, and now, his Asperger’s Are Us, is set to premiere
on Netflix December 11, 2016.
In the film, the members of the
comedy troupe, Asperger's Are Us, find it easier to associate with a faceless
audience than with their own families.
No matter who the crowd, best
friends Noah, New Michael, Jack and Ethan have one simple mantra: “We would
much rather the audience appreciate us as comedians than people who have
overcome adversity.”
In this coming-of-age heartfelt
documentary, this band of brothers finds themselves at a crossroad. With real
life pulling them apart, they decide to plan one ambitious farewell show before
they all go their separate ways.
People with Asperger’s don’t deal
well with uncertainty, and this is the most uncertain time in their lives.
