Now Recruiting for our Spectrum Live Season 2 Production Team!
In 2018 we created and hosted the variety show Spectrum Live, which furthered our mission to curate films and media by and for the Autistic Community. Now, with funding from Canadian Heritage, we will produce a brand new season of Spectrum Live with four fresh episodes and 120 minutes of riveting content. We plan to make Season 2 better, more inclusive, and even more fun than Season 1, and we need your help to do so!
We are looking for passionate, motivated Autistic and neurodiverse creators to be part of our production team to really bring this show to life.
