MIKEY
Produced and Directed by Audrey
Produced and Directed by Audrey
I met Mikey my freshman year of college. After applying to a bunch of jobs, Mikey’s mom reached out to me to start working with Mikey as his special needs aide a.k.a. his "buddy." Quickly, my relationship with Mikey evolved from “buddies” to true friendship. While spending time with Mikey, I noticed myself changing. I saw the excitement he took in seeing his friends after just a few hours away from them, the compassion he exhibited for anyone who looked even slightly sad, and his contagious joy in simple moments. While I knew so little about filmmaking going into this short, I knew that I wanted to give others the experience I had everyday that I worked with Mikey: a chance to slow down and look at the world through innocent and gentle eyes. I felt hopeful that a film like this could offer a deeper appreciation of both simple, everyday moments and individuals with developmental differences.
MIKEY is a short documentary that explores the life and spirit of Mikey Lorch, a beautiful human being who was born with developmental differences. Mikey leads his life in an extraordinary way and has proven to be a teacher and light to those who know him. I hope you can feel his spirit through these small vignettes of his life and that you might be inspired as well. “I wish the world was a little bit more like Mikey."
