As a movie reviewer who has spent years diving into the heart-wrenching and uplifting stories of individuals overcoming adversity, I am always on the lookout for films that resonate deeply and leave an indelible impact. “I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust” promises to be just such a film.

In collaboration, it’s been decided that Goodnight and Orchard Pictures will jointly create the documentary titled “I Have Been Hidden Under Layers of Dust.

The story is adapted from Emily Grodin’s memoir with the same title. Marta Kauffman is involved in its production. In addition, Robbie Rowe Tollin, Hannah K.S. Canter of Okay Goodnight, as well as Roberta Grossman are all slated to produce. Sophie Sartain from Orchard Pictures will handle directing and producing duties.

As a film enthusiast, I’d describe “I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust” as a captivating tale about Emily Grodin, an autistic woman who has gone unheard for decades. Despite numerous therapy attempts falling short, Emily experiences a breakthrough with assisted typing, finally finding her means of expression. The momentous first words she types resonate deeply: “I have been buried under years of dust.

The collaboration among Orchard Pictures, Okay Goodnight, LLC, and ITVS will receive financing from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). As a result, the production titled “I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust” is set to air on American public television stations.

Grodin shared that working alongside Marta Kauffman, Sophie Sartain, and their exceptional team on this documentary has been an incredible voyage of collaboration and enlightenment. He expressed profound gratitude for their dedication to sharing his story – a tale of hope and the strength found in expressing one’s voice against all adversity. Grodin aspires that this documentary serves as inspiration for parents and caregivers, encouraging them never to abandon hope for their children, reminding them that each hardship is a stepping stone toward a brighter tomorrow. He believes that united, we can illuminate the potential opportunities that lie ahead when we have faith in the capabilities of every person.

Kauffman stated, “Emily Grodin’s tale beautifully illustrates the strength of the human spirit, and I am overjoyed to help spread her inspiring story and her advocacy for autism.” Kauffman further expressed, “Her bravery in the face of challenges is a message that resonates with everyone and offers valuable insights. At Okay Goodnight, we are deeply committed to bringing this powerful narrative to life. We’re eager to collaborate again with Orchard Pictures on this project and can’t wait to let more people follow Emily’s journey.

Working with Emily and Valerie to translate their compelling tale onto the silver screen has been an honor for me. I feel deeply grateful to have been granted access to their personal lives in such a profound way, and I eagerly anticipate spreading their message about the transformative influence of communication through this movie.

In ‘I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust’, the duo of Okay Goodnight and Orchard Pictures unite for their second project. Previously, they joined forces for the 2018 Netflix documentary titled ‘Seeing Allred.’
