OKAY! The ASD Band Film follows the members of The ASD Band, four talented autistic musicians in Toronto, as they embark upon the challenging journey of writing their first original album and gearing up to perform in their first live show.

Director Mark Bone takes time to get to know the bandmates: from Jackson’s love of Elvis, Ron’s background in classical piano, Spenser’s punk rock sensibilities, and Rawan’s perfect pitch. The collaborative nature of their songwriting and performing shines through in their excitement, while also allowing them to open to the camera about their hopes and fears, what it means to be autistic and perceived by the world, and how they are (mis)understood by friends and family.
