Co-created by The Neurocultures Collective - a collective of neurodivergent filmmakers - and artist-filmmaker Steven Eastwood and shot on 16mm film by Aftersun cinematographer Gregory Oke, The Stimming Pool offers a unique exploration of a neurodiverse world. Through an autistic lens, diverse subjects navigate various environments, some characters conceal their autism while others thrive in their communities, all seeking out the Stimming Pool—a space free from societal norms.
