Hollywood Elsewhere: Been There, Lived That

Posted: March 15, 2011
The first thing I noticed this morning was thatJanet Grillo's Fly Away, which I'd been planning to see sooner or later, has an 88% positive on Rotten Tomatoes -- technically the highest rating of all the narrative films opening today. Only eight top-tier critics have posted reviews so take the rating in context, but I still felt excited and freshly enthused about seeing it.
Had I been invited to a screening or been sent a screener? Nope.
Fly Away is about a divorced mom (Beth Broderick) dealing with a daughter (Ashley Rickards) afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome. It's inspired by Grlllo's own life to a certain extent as she and ex-husband David O. Russell (The Fighter) have been co-raising an autistic son, Matthew, who's now 15 and, she says, "emerging out of autism."
She calls the film "personal but not autobiographical...not a soggy melodrama or movie-of-the-week" but "a love story between a parent and a child."
N.Y. Times reviewer Jeanette Catsoulis more or less agrees, calling Fly Away "a defiantly unsentimental look at the complex codependency between a harried single mother and her severely autistic daughter."
I've known Janet since my period of employment at New Line Cinema's Manhattan office in the mid '80s as a freelance publicist. She was a development and then a production executive at the company. In 1992 she married Russell, whom she came to know initially from working on developing Spanking The Monkey ('94); they divorced in '07.
Most of Grillo's time and energy was devoted, once Matthew's autistic condition surfaced, to raising her son in the late '90s and over the last decade. But she gradually got back into film by exec producing Autism, The Musical and directing two shorts -- At The Beach with Lucinda Jenney ('07) and Flying Lessons ('08), which starred Dana Delany.
Fly Away is the feature that grew out of Flying Lessons.
Fly Away was shot it in June and July of 2010. Grillo finished cutting it last November, and the film premiered at SXSW last month. (Where I missed it...naturally.) I'm planning on seeing it tonight or sometime tomorrow or Sunday at the Laemmle Muisc Hall on Wilshire.
"There's been a 53% increase over the past decade in diagnosing autism," Grillo states. "That's why it's important to tell this story. 500,00 kids with autism are now reaching adulthood, and most of them will never live independently."
Her son has been "emerging" out of autism largely due to a therapeutic boarding school (i.e., the Glenholme School in Washington, Connecticut) that he's been attending in recent years. The effect has been "transformative," she says, and yet it's "just one place...we need 1000 Glenholmes in this country."

Sew a button onto the flap on the soccer t shirts. Cut a slit in the lower-portion of the germany soccer jersey to create a button hole. To prevent the area from fraying, use clear, regular glue on and around the button hole. A belt or scarf can double as a strap. Sew the strap onto the outer portions of the bag. Some people like to add customizations to their argentina jersey such as patches, pins, or other decorations. This is completely optional but it can help give the laptop tote a personal touch.

The Nike trainers story began as a small distributing outfit located in the trunk of Phil Knight's car.
Nike clothing emanated from two sources: Bill Bowerman's quest for lighter, more durable racing footwear for his Oregon based runners, and Knight's search for a way to make a living without having to give up his love of athletics. Bowerman coached track at the University of Oregon where Phil Knight ran in 1959. Bowerman's desire for better quality running trainer clearly influenced Knight in his search for a marketing strategy. Between them, the seed of the Worlds most influential sporting company Nike grew.
After cresting $1 million in sales and riding the wave of the success, Knight et. al. devised the Nike name and trademark Swoosh in 1971.
If Nike footwear didn't start the fitness revolution, Knight says, "We were at least right there. And we sure rode it for one hell of a ride". The 80s and 90s would yield greater and greater profits as Nike trainers began to assume the appearance of athletic juggernaut, rather than the underdog of old. "Advertising Age" named Nike trainers the 1996 Marketer of the Year, citing the "ubiquitous swoosh...was more recognised and coveted by consumers than any other sports brand arguably any brand"Air Jordan 1Air Jordan 2010Air Jordan 2011Air Jordan 6 RingsAir Jordan CMFTAir Jordan FlightAir Jordan FusionAir Jordan JumpmanAir Jordan LifestyleAir Jordan LStyle shoesAir Jordan MeloAir Jordan Retroair jordan sky high canvasAir Jordan SportAir Jordan V.2 Grownair jordans retroair shox tl1air shox tl3Big Nike shoescheap air flarecheap air jordanscheap big shoescheap lunarglidecheap Nike Air Classic BWcheap Nike Air Max 1cheap Nike Air Max 180cheap NIke Air Max 2003cheap Nike Air Max 2009cheap Nike Air Max 2009 Runningcheap Nike Air Max 2010cheap Nike Air Max 2011cheap Nike Air Max 24-7cheap NIke Air Max 360cheap Nike Air Max 90cheap Nike Air Max 90 Currentugg boots for kidsugg boot for kidsfake ugg bootskensington ugg bootsleather ugg boots
