 SENSORY FRIENDLY FILMS AMC Entertainment® (AMC) and the Autism Society of America have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory Friendly Films" program. In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for this unique audience, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC's "Silence is Golden" policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.
Three theaters in the Atlanta market have been selected to host "Sensory Friendly Films".

BounceU reached out to the Autism Society because they have seen a growing number of children with Autism visiting their facility and recognized how much our kids seem to enjoy this sensory experience. They have blocked time just for children with autism and their families on Sunday, January 17th, from 3:30-5:30. The kids can run, jump, play and most of all just have FUN (adults are allowed on the inflatables as well). So mark your calendar and bring your socks. It’s going to be a BLAST.
