<div><strong>Help Bring Dear Grandpa, It's Michael to Schools, Hospitals &amp; Communities</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every story has the power to change a life. Some stories have the power to change how we see one another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began as an independent short film is now becoming a community rollout focused on autism inclusion, education, and opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through special screenings, educational discussion guides, and partnerships with schools, hospitals, autism organizations, and community groups, we're working to ensure Michael's story reaches the people who need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign will help make that possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are moments in life when everything changes in an instant.
</div>
<div>For Michael's family, that moment came when he was just two years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was diagnosed with autism, and suddenly the future felt uncertain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His family was faced with words that no parent is ever truly prepared to hear, words filled with limitations and predictions about what their son might never become.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imagine being told your child may never speak.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imagine being told their path in life will always be restricted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many families, those words bring fear, uncertainty, and heartbreak.
</div>
<div>But Michael's story didn't end there.
</div>
<div>It was only the beginning.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Michael Today</strong>
</div>
<div>Today, Michael is living proof of what can happen when a person is given support, encouragement, and the opportunity to grow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The child who was once defined by limitations now has a driver's licence, is employed, is continuing his education, and is building a future on his own terms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His journey reminds us that potential should never be measured by a diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, his story helps inspire families, educators, employers, and communities to rethink what is possible.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Momentum Is Building</strong>
</div>
<div>One of the most meaningful moments in this journey came when Dear Grandpa, It's Michael was presented at the ICAN Conference on April 3, 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Standing alongside Michael and Stefano after the screening was a powerful reminder of how far this project has come, and of the conversations it is beginning to inspire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That experience reinforced what this project has always been about: creating greater understanding, championing inclusion, and expanding opportunities for individuals on the autism spectrum.
</div>
<div>Michael's story is no longer reaching just one audience. It is beginning to reach communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also grateful to Ross &amp; McBride LLP, our first Community Sponsor, whose support is helping us expand the project's reach into communities.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><strong>Why This Campaign Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>The next chapter of Dear Grandpa, It's Michael is about sharing one family's story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is about helping people see autism through a different lens, one that recognizes strengths, potential, and possibility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through community screenings, educational discussion guides, and partnerships with schools, hospitals, autism organizations, and community groups, we hope to spark meaningful conversations that encourage greater understanding and inclusion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goals are to:
</div>
<div>● Share an authentic story that families and communities can connect with.
</div>
<div>● Encourage greater understanding of autism through lived experience.
</div>
<div>● Inspire hope for families beginning their own journey.
</div>
<div>● Promote inclusion and meaningful opportunities for individuals on the spectrum.
</div>
<div>● Create conversations that continue long after the film ends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many families, the hardest part is not the diagnosis itself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is what comes next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Waiting for support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Searching for answers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wondering what the future will hold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michael's journey shows what can become possible when people are believed in, included, and given the opportunity to succeed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About the Team</strong>
</div>
<div>Dear Grandpa, It's Michael is produced by My Three Angels Pictures Inc., an independent Canadian production company committed to telling stories that inspire inclusion, compassion, and meaningful social change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Led by producer and writer Tyrone Greenidge, alongside director Anthony Carniello, writer/producer Geoff Hart, and autism consultant Donna Graham, the team is passionate about creating films that spark conversations and build stronger, more inclusive communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/104706695_1781128751726129_r.png" width="100%" />
<div><strong>Building Opportunity Beyond the Screen</strong>
</div>
<div>Our vision extends beyond one film.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe authentic representation should also create meaningful opportunities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That is why one of our long-term goals is to hire 30–40% of our cast and crew from the autistic community on every production, providing mentorship, hands-on experience, and transferable skills that can open doors to future employment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While an estimated 86% of autistic adults experience unemployment or underemployment, we believe storytelling can also become a pathway to inclusion, confidence, and opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our commitment is simple:
</div>
<div>ENGAGE. EMPOWER. EMPLOY.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Impact You Can Make</strong>
</div>
<div>Supporting this campaign is about far more than helping complete a film.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is about helping Michael's story reach the people who need it most.
</div>
<div>A parent searching for hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A family navigating a new diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An educator looking for a better way to support students.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An employer discovering the value of a more inclusive workplace.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every screening creates a conversation.
</div>
<div>Every conversation has the potential to change a perspective.
</div>
<div>And every changed perspective creates new opportunities for someone who deserves to be seen for their strengths.
</div>
<div><br />
