Casey Gurtler

Casey is currently a junior at Palmer High School and has a passion for drawing, animation, and debate.  Her film, OUT OF THE BOX, explores the life of a teenaged artist unwilling to conform to social and neuro-typical norms. The film also shines light on her mother, Amy, whose own upbringing prompted fresh ways of parenting her precocious daughter. Through this deeply intimate portrait of mother/daughter, Casey paints a model for living an unshackled life, driven by sheer creativity and authenticity.
