Event Details

In recognition of Autism Awareness Month and in partnership with NeuroMind Services, the library presents a special community screening of Go On, the award-winning feature film by twice-exceptional (2e) autistic filmmaker, golfer, and actor Landon Ashworth.

Before the screening, there will be a reception for the event starting at 6 pm with tabling by community organizations. The screening begins at 6:30 pm.

Following the screening, Landon will join NeuroMind co-founders Chelsea Elkind and Lauren Rosenblum for a talkback and audience Q&A, sharing insights into the film, his creative process, and his lived experience as an autistic storyteller.

NeuroMind Services is a group of licensed clinicians offering neurodiversity-affirming support for individuals and families across the lifespan rooted in a deep understanding and respect for neurodivergent experiences.

Why You Should Come

Landon Ashworth's inspiring story is one you won't want to miss. This a chance to not only experience an award-winning film, but also to hear directly from Landon Ashworth about his creative journey, his advocacy, and the importance of autistic voices in storytelling.

In a quiet, timeless purgatory, a man who can’t move on helps lost souls find peace — until one arrival forces him to face what it truly means to let go.

Go On is the winner of Best Feature at the Catalina Film Festival and an official selection at the Soho International Film Festival, Twin Cities Film Festival, and others; centering on themes of resilience, misunderstood identities, and human connection.
