LAURA CECHANOWICZ

Interacting with Autism website, Global Documentary Project

Laura is a remarkable graduate student who did an MA in Animation and is now completing a PhD in USC’s new Interdivisional Media Arts Practice Program. She was a co-producer on the Interacting with Autism website and shot and directed the movie on Exceptional Minds, an animation program for youths on the spectrum.

She also participated in our Summer Global Documentary Program, which brings film students from Los Angeles and Beijing together to collaborate on a short film about global cities. In all of these contexts, she has been exceptional.
