Father and Son
Twenty years since “Rain Man” won four Oscars, the film is still impacting young and old. Recently, an event at the Salt Lake City Main Library proved that. In early 2009, film fans filled the theater to see the real ‘Rain Man’ Kim Peek, his father Fran, and ‘Rain Man’ screenwriter Barry Morrow celebrate 20 years of the ‘Rain Man’ and increased awareness of autism and other disabilities, mental and physical. The event was hosted by Stephen Carnegie, art savant and owner of Carnegie Entertainment.
A beautiful and inspiring event, the Rain Man 20th Anniversary celebration was designed to bring awareness back to mental illness as well as to let the audience and the world know how much individuals with mental and physical disabilities can do with their unique sensibilities. Kim Peek summed up the evening by saying,”Learning to recognize and respect differences in others and treat them as much as you want them to treat you will make this a better world to live in… You don’t have to be handicapped to be different. Everybody’s different.”

My World Too
Inspired by the HALO Foundation, the Jellybean Conspiracy and various other organizations, My World Too is an internet video project that will create awareness and action by delivering news, expressions, song, drama, poetry, art and creativity of kids who normally don’t get much of a break; giving kids a vision and a voice.
The first installment involved a number of Outposters and kids from the HALO Foundation and the Jellybean Conspiracy in the Outpost studio one Saturday afternoon. Each kid got his/her chance to be in front of the camera and to express themselves. See their creativity and unique talents in the video above.
The HALO Foundation provides American youth with the opportunity to learn philanthropy and volunteerism by seeing the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, and is committed to enhancing living conditions and providing art therapy for orphans worldwide. The Jellybean Conspiracy works with high school departments of theatre, special education, art, music, and journalism to produce a theatre show where kids with special needs find a place to belong, and all kids learn the art of compassion through action and thoughtful inclusion.
