The film is written and stars Dan Bergmann. It is directed by Dan’s father, award-winning film director Michael Bergmann (Milk & Money, Tied to a Chair, Influence). The cast includes Dan Bergmann & Emily Faith Grodin, with Lisa Bostnar, Joshua Wolf Coleman, Carol A. Ortlip, Patrick Adams Riviere, Kurt Zischke, and Faith Salie.

“For people with autism, at least in my experience, the most important good is connecting with other people. This movie project allows me so much opportunity to connect: First in my imagination while writing, now in production with so many artists bringing their own creativity to build on mine, and finally when the film is finished to amuse people with a good story that actually takes place in the world of nonspeakers, what a connection to the world that will be! Come meet us, enjoy what we are up to, and help if you can,” said Dan Bergmann, writer, and actor of Pointing Fingers.

After the clips, there will be a talkback Q&A. Finally, there will be a wine reception and a chance for attendees to talk to the writer, director, and cast.

“We are proud to bring this groundbreaking film production to our audience's attention. It can have a bold effect on the way films are cast and produced in the future,” said Steve Jackson, CEO & Managing Director of The Park Theatre.
