Description

"Directed by Guy Fiorita, MOLE MAN is the story of Outside Architect Ron Heist, a 66-year-old autistic man who built a 50-room structure, consisting solely of scrap materials, on the land behind his parent’s home in eastern Pennsylvania. His creation was built without the use of nails or mortar and keeps expanding, as he collects, classifies and displays objects from a deserted cluster of homes in the woods. Recognizing the fragility of Ron’s situation as his parents age, Ron’s friends team up in search of a mystical mansion that Ron insists lays abandoned in the forest. MOLE MAN examines the interplay between autism and creativity. Ron, with idiosyncrasies and an eagerness to talk about them, is an ardent archivist of a work that loved ones and caregivers consider odd and not necessarily important. This is the story of an extraordinary life, a family, and the beauty of thinking differently. With guest speaker, Director Guy Fiorita. Time: 85 minutes"
