Two young adults with autism strike up an unlikely and transformative relationship, in KEEP THE CHANGE, a heartfelt, humorous and wonderfully surprising reinvention of the New York romantic comedy. Showcasing naturally spontaneous performances by actors with autism, writer-director Rachel Israel’s inclusive and fresh debut is a unique and universal love story full of vibrant characters under-represented in cinema. A winning entry at many film festivals, including Best U.S. Narrative Feature and Best New Narrative Director prizes at the Tribeca Film Festival. “It’s an ode to self-discovery and acceptance that’s as funny as it is sweet.” —Variety
