Director Biography - Kantia Smith, Lonnie Smith

Kantia was diagnosed as mute at the age of four due to his inability to speak; his psychologist was sure he had autism. His lack of speech severely affected his academic performance. His father one day discovered that he would not speak because the world around him moved too slowly. With an almost photographic memory, Kantia is a speed reader who has super-fast hand-eye coordination. He uses these gifts to create video games and movies for virtual reality and android platforms. Kantia has published a game in the Google Play Store and is currently developing a virtual reality game to help autistics find their superhuman abilities.
