Director, writer, and Emmy Award winning producer, Janet Grillo joins us to talk about her latest movie,  fly away.

This is a story of Jeanne and her autistic teenage daughter, Mandy.  Jeanne has cared for Mandy since the day she was born, growing closer every day to a child who is charmingly offbeat one moment and nearly impossible to manage the next. In the dog park, Jeanne encounters Tom,  an easygoing and accepting neighbor who sparks a romantic interest, but she finds juggling Mandy's care and her own career leaves little room for a new man.  As the pressures of work and her child's needs increase, she must decide whether or not to enroll Mandy in a therapeutic residential facility.  Jeanne is confronted with the most difficult decision a parent can make: to let go, allowing her child to grow, but also grow apart; or to hold on tight and fall together.
