Welcome to the Blog!

Hello everyone and welcome to the Fly Away Film blog!

This is the website for Janet Grillo's newest film Fly Away. Based on her award winning short, Flying Lessons, Fly Away tells the moving story of a single mother, Jeanne, grappling with the challenge of raising her autistic teenage daughter, Mandy. While I'd love to tell you more about the story, this being the internet, I'm going to try my best to keep this brief. However, if you do want to know more about the story, feel free to click on the "About the Film" tab on the website toolbar. We also have bios of most of the cast and crew up there (the rest are on their way), so be sure to check those out as well. We have a really talented team, so don't be surprised if find a couple of people that you've heard of before.

Although the blog may not be too spectacular at the moment, as production starts to get underway you can expect to find all sorts of great features popping up everyday. We'll have everything from interviews, to videos, to production stills, and even blog posts written by the cast and crew, so be sure to come back and check out all of that stuff out as it goes up. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks, this website is able to become a place that is as interactive as it is informative, and where you'll be able to learn all sorts of things, not only about the film, but also about autism in general. Obviously this is only possible by building a community around the site, so as we start to get things going, feel free to comment on the blog, follow us on Twitter, or become our fan on Facebook

Once again,

Thanks for checking out the site, I can't wait to see it grow.
