The Screeners are back with another bonus episode to tide you over in those long fortnight gaps between major releases, and we have a real treat for you this time. Screenwriter Jennifer Deaton sits down with the crew to talk about the upcoming release of Jack of the Red Hearts, which also happens to be her first script that\\u2019s been produced and distributed. The movie itself tackles a difficult subject that\\u2019s very close to home for many families: relating to a child on the Autism spectrum. Jennifer has more than an episode\\u2019s worth of experiences to share with everyone, from the script\\u2019s inspiration to what it\\u2019s like on the set of an independent movie and everything in between. We\\u2019ll try to stay on topic, but we\\u2019re sure you\\u2019ll forgive us if we don\\u2019t cut her off as quickly as we would, say, Chris.


If it\\u2019s playing near you, go see Jack of the Red Hearts on opening weekend (Feb. 26-28)! You can\\u2019t go wrong supporting both independent film and improving awareness of what daily life can be like for millions of people around the world.
