The Story of Luke
The Story of Luke is a 2012 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Alonso Mayo. It is Mayo’s first feature-length film and tells the story of Luke, a young man with autism who embarks on a quest for a job and a girlfriend.
The film was inspired by director Alonso Mayo’s experiences at Centro Ann Sullivan del Perú. While finishing his undergrad studies in film and journalism in Peru, Mayo helped produced a series of training videos for creating supported employment programs and met many men and women with autism and other developmental disabilities. Later, while writing the screenplay for The Story of Luke, Mayo returned to Centro Ann Sullivan del Perú on a research trip and shot the documentary Just Like Anyone.
