The World through Louis’ eyes – For me the best explanation of sensory overload and autism you will ever watch.
The World through Louis’ eyes’
‘The film is a brief summary of some of the extreme and trippy sensory stuff I have to deal with. Asperger Syndrome is a very varied condition and I think what I have is rare among that, so bear in mind not everyone with Asperger Syndrome will necessarily suffer from things like this.
The inspiration for this film was a video I made a long time ago where I tried to explain my condition to other people. Through an absurdly tangential sequence of events Philip Davies (Battlecat) saw my film and this is how ‘The Magic of Louis Morel’ film happened. Why I wanted to collaborate on this film was because I wanted to be useful in any way I can and it sounded fun!’
