In this inspiring episode of Breaking the Biz, we sit down with Jason Weissbrod—a dynamic director, actor, producer, writer, and the co-founder of Spectrum Laboratory.
With a career spanning film, television, web series, commercials, and theatre, Jason has spent the past 15+ years building creative pathways for neurodivergent and autistic artists. His work with The Miracle Project, Tree Academy, The Help Group, Autism On The Seas, and CSUN’s Teenage Drama Workshop helped spark a powerful mission: to elevate neurodiverse voices in the entertainment industry.
Through Spectrum Laboratory (Spec Labs), Jason and his team empower artists on the autism spectrum to create original films and music, while collaborating with entertainment professionals. Jason’s mantra? “Show people what they can do, and magic will ensue!”
In this conversation, Jason shares how Spec Labs bridges neurodiverse talent with Hollywood pros, why authentic representation in entertainment matters, and how the creative process transforms both confidence and community. He also offers valuable lessons for industry leaders seeking to foster inclusive collaboration.
Join us for a thoughtful and energetic discussion about breaking barriers, challenging norms, and celebrating the limitless potential of neurodiverse artists.
