This is preview for an independent feature film, Stay Then Go, which is about autism and its place in the life of a mother and her son. It is based on filmmaker Shelli Ainsworth's experiences with her son Dietrich Sieling.

  • Ha ha, that's funny. That's good! It just goes to show how accepting art schools really are and what a great environments they are! I'm so excited for Perpich! It'll be the greatest experience in the world! And, after seeing this, it shows me how much of a better place it is (Not that I already knew that =P)!

  • Oh yes, I think he was. He always seemed cheerful when i saw him, and everyone was very polite to him. One thing about him that I'll always remember is that our Visual arts teacher used to bring her golden retriever to class and Dietrich would get very nervous around it.

  • Was he well liked at Perpich?

  • I'm one more Perpie alum to throw in here -- definitely nostalgia with the swings! I loved Dietrich's art... and he was good in dance-offs, too! How awesome that a film is dedicated to his work, I'm excited to see this.

  • Dietrich rocks.

  • I went to Perpich as well, I was a junior when Dietrich was a senior.

    I didn't know him too well but i do remember his art, it made quite an impression on me. Seeing him on the Perpich swings is a huge nostalgia bomb.

    Ill definitely have to check this out.
