MORE THAN JUST CLOTHES

Directed by the Tubby Brothers, two 60-second documentaries tell the clothes stories of autistic teens Lani and Cozzie; the films using animation to represent how each girl feels when they wear their favourite item.

As part of the project, we partnered with Christine McGuinness to encourage key decision-makers in schools, businesses, and sports to sign the More Than Just Clothes Pledge and support the needs of autistic people.
