Sidecars - preview

"Sidecars", a 30-minute film by Ben Stamper, documents an unusual friendship between two extraordinary people. Charming and cheeky, Justin is a teenager who has autism and wants to be a "famous illustrator" when he grows up. Lyndsley is Justin's art student who has the patience and optimism of a saint. She also has her own "sidecar," which is a rare rheumatalogical condition called Polymyositis. "Sidecars" is an intimate portrait of two friends seeking identity outside of their diagnosis, while learning from each
other how to transform their struggle into beautiful works of art that strengthen and inspire.
