Interview with London filmmaker Rick Stanton of Spectrum

Director Rick Stanton's Latest Short Spectrum (starring BAFTA-Winning Actor Wunmi Mosaku Loki, Deadpool & Wolverine & Black Mirror) Explores Life For People On The Autism Spectrum

The film delivers an authentic portrayal featuring Steve and a supporting cast of untrained actors, all of whom are neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum.

Spectrum explores the life of Steve, played by Rick’s brother of the same name, a man with autism, as he navigates a world that often isolates him. Along the way, Steve redefines what it means to be a superhero, facing challenges with courage, resilience, and deep humanity. Through his journey, we witness the transformative power of acceptance and the untapped potential for greatness within every individual, no matter where they fall on the spectrum.
