The Buzz in Ben Official Announcement Trailer

The teaser trailer to my first official feature film, a documentary I decided to call "The Buzz in Ben", which is not only an omage to my username BuzzNBen, but a title I consider to be significant because of all the "buzz" that goes on in my brain.

This is a documentary about my life growing up on the autism spectrum and how exactly it has impacted my life! From being completely unable to speak at age 2 to being able to effectively communicate and express myself as an adult, this film highlights my perspective on what it has meant to me to be on the autism spectrum while breaking the stigmas surrounding it.
