heartwarming: A Dad's Journey With Autism | Sirui Nightwalker 24 + 35 Lens Film 

Award Winning!!! This was very well done. Thank you for sharing your story and blessing us with this beautiful cinematography.

My God. This is incredible, possibly the best RU-vid video I have ever seen. This really moved me.

Even though this film had an overall serious tone and thought provoking dialogue, I loved how you threaded your sense of humour in. The subtle "Let me show you!" as one of many voices in your head had me chuckling. Great project!

Damn this is like on another level. It really moved me and from the look of it, others as well. I’m just a kid from the Bronx; born in the 80s and raised in the 90s with a fucked up childhood. With an incident that even made the local papers. Thanks for sharing this man. This really resonated with me.

Something within me “clicked” when I watched this video. Idk what it is, but I’m walking away different after watching this video. I promise I’m not trying to be dramatic but, my words are true lol. This was beautiful sir. Thanks for sharing your story and giving us beautiful visuals to accompany it.

This is such a touching story I can picture that dump creeping out. It must have been amazing.

This is excellent. Great work, Vu. I got the diagnosis too earlier this year at the age of 39 after spending all my life so far wondering what the hell is going on. You nailed this.

It gave me goosebumps, it made laugh, it made me cry. This short film made me stop and look at myself. This film is powerful. This... This here is what filming is about. Great video, great story. Thanks!

I came for a lens review, didn't expect a documentary. But I stayed and finished the film. Great work and my blessings to you and your family!

This has inspired me to film all of the footage of street-walkers taking massive dumps much more cinematically. For real though - this was awesome.

Vu, prior to seeing this you were quickly rising to be one of my favorite RU-vid channels.. this video.. solidified your spot! Touched my on a personal level as my son who’s 4 has autism.. watching your little man in this video tugged on my heart strings… he too is non verbal. Super smart. Learning sign and teaching him so we can communicate.. it has humbled me as a father to take care of my boy.. the meltdowns.. the struggles..the therapy’s.. everything to give my boy a shot at being able to thrive one day on his own and not worrying.. seeing you and your success and how you function amazingly gives me that hope!! Thanks for an awesome video my friend!!

Found you through your shorts which are hilarious. This review was the most captivating bit of camera gear content I’ve seen this year. Thank you

Your videos give quality’s, in-depth information, not only for what you say but also for what you show. Bravo! Your son will thrive. He has a great Dad.

Hey bro loving the adhd line. Can we get some more of this? This is episode two as far as I can see. This shit is dope. My wife is a child psychologist. She says that I am a child, and that our daughter gets all of her attention problems from me. it’s glad to see you out there battling through your demons. Iam in the fight as we speak. Iam starting my own RU-vid channel bro. Next time I comment in here it’ll be from a guy named Fredrick. Or maybe man in the glass or something like that. Keep making more of this… it’s small shit like this that really helps me get through.

Vu. Thank you. Thank you for being you and sharing the genuine you with all of us. I've been following you for a long time, as you probably know. At first, I had no idea what it was about you and your channel that pulled me in. Was it the "I don't give a shit if I'm sponsored or not" -attitude?Was it your brilliant sense of humor?Was it the fact that you always made me crave Vietnamese food? Was it your skills? The quality of the videos? Probably a bit of each. But there was something in your videos that I just couldn't put my finger on. Something about you that reminded me of...well, me. Then, all of a sudden, you told us about your ADHD and your struggles with it. That was a huge aha moment for me. I am a filmmaker myself. I mostly make corporate videos. Product videos, event videos, interviews, commercials - you name it. The creativity, the outside of the box thinking and everything else you're talking about in this video is literally what got me into the business. I have no education. No prior knowledge and I had no business connections beforehand. It all came down to my ability to thing outside of that box that everyone keeps talking about. I myself am not on the spectrum, but you know, autism and ADHD are like a dysfunctional couple of cousins. Anyway, I digress, as always. What I really wanted to do is give you my heartfelt thanks. Thanks for motivating people to be themselves. Thanks for helping people accept themselves for who they are. Thanks for showing people out there, who need it the most, that it's ok to be "different". Hell, it might even be the very reason they'll do really damn well in life. If you ever need a spare slipper, just holler and I'll hook you up with a genuine Swedish Träsko. That oughta shut Phuc up for quite some time! Sorry for the novel sized comment. You're the best, Vu ❤️

God Bless you man. Prayers for you and your beautiful family. Nothing but success for you mate.

My son is 6 and autistic, and it does get easier with time. My son was exactly like you're describing at that age. I'm almost certain I am on the spectrum as well somewhere. Keep going, man! You're doing an amazing job.

I've been a fan of your RU-vid and Vimeo channels for a while, and I just wanted to say that this video really captures your filmmaking mastery, your unique sense of humor, with an emotional punch. It honestly made my day! Great job! 😊👏

The twist is that this pho was actually bought at Phuc My Bich shop.

I want to personally thank you for your videos. Your videos have helped me this year as I was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago. And when your video on AuDHD dropped, I was like: "damn, it sucks to be like that!". Ironically, it didn't take long for me to find ADHD in myself and get officially diagnosed afterwards. Your beautiful and emotive cinematography makes me feel more connected than ever. Thank you!

Thank you for taking a chance opening up and creating this inspiring content bro!

Dude, this was Epic ! Blessings to you and your family

Vu, I normally watch your videos for the no-b.s. reviews and humor at the end with the masterlcass stuff, but this video, or rather documentary, damn! That was powerful. Cinematography was beautiful, and the story was even more beautiful. Very emotional. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing with us.

Wow, this was the most amazing 'unboxing video' I've seen.... Thanks for sharing your story, lots of Love and Light for all of you! And all the shots were made with so much care and detail, fabulous!

That was so good brother. Emotion and message perfectly coming across.

Wow that's amazing you have diagnosed and helped him already. Your going to do everything I. Your power to help him! He's going to be an amazing person

So good man! Crazy hearing peoples experiences. My son was the same way and now is considered "high functioning" but you nailed how he thinks and feels. He struggles with socializing big time. Anyhow, I really enjoyed your sense of humor and storytelling. The voices in the head part is ON POINT. The end HAHA! great work and hang in there!

Vu! Been a fan of the channel for a few months now, and I realize that I relate with so much of what you have to say about yourself (mentally) despite being light-years different from you physically. Just wanna say thanku for posting this and helping expand my cinematographic knowledge, and for being so funny/open in the process 🙏

Respect to this video, respect to this review, respect to the skills, respect to your story, respect to you for sharing. Very moving and smart. Obviously sincere too. Thank you

Amazing film! Very inspirational. I love the cinematography. You are amazing at what you do! Keep up the great work

Wait a second I didn't know aspergers was on the autism spectrum? My best friend had it when he was a kid and you wouldn't even know it... Don't let that hold you back brother. Keep crushing and improving and you'll forget about it soon

This video is great man! This is that real talk I relate to. I hope you blow up on this platform as THIS is storytelling!

Exceptional work!!! Truly Award Winning and Noteworthy!!! Thank you for the vulnerability and transparency, your inspiration transcends the human condition.

“Clearly sown.. at a high end Chinese sweat shop” U broke the tension there for me 😅. Nice video

Such a nice storytelling that brought tears to my eyes. Fantastic movie man ! Love your work

This is powerful! Great job! You seem to be excelling!

Humorous and touching video, you are very blessed & talented Vu!

Great video. My son got diagnosed with ASD last year and as a parent it is tough to grapple with every day.

Man this is amazing. I saw every review of these lenses till I got tired. This was very refreshing. Your story really touched me. Thanks for sharing your story you never know who you might inspire ❤

you are moving into a whole new level man! This was great!

Fantastic work brother. This was touching and beautiful to watch.

Congratulations Vu, your work is astonishing, your art is beautiful. The way you expose your thoughts is beyond sublime, not only you are a top-of-the-art artist but also an excellent father. You, what you do, is powerful. Thank you, thank you for sharing a piece of you.

Amazing video Vu. Watching this made me realize that I might be the same as you. I have questioned the exact same things about myself lately when looking back to my past.

This is amazing. I felt I connected alot to this. I have not been diagnosed with autism but I related alot to the thoughts and feelings that you had/have. The inner thoughts that break into micro thoughts pilled on top of each other, never really being apart of the crowd and the biggest thing, feeling like most of my social interactions were an manual focus type. Thank you for this. Youre awesome!

Ahhh this really got to me. We are very similar. My son is also afflicted with autism. I wasn't sure if you were joking at first but it got pretty real pretty quickly. I'm rooting for you man. Like I've always said, you are a super underrated creator and this proves it. Only held back because you create the way "YOU" want to create and not the way society wants you to create. I also do the punching bag thing lol and I'm also an 80's kid grew up in the 90s. I'm a bit older but I won't go into that. This video is a hallmark and I hope it goes viral.

The best review video, maybe best video in general I’ve ever seen on RU-vid.

Ah-ward Whinning . You took "let me show you" to a different level

I see this story a lot now. I went something similar myself the past few years with my kids and myself. The way you just told the story was so beautiful in both sound and vision. I had to stop playing it on my phone and throw it on the big screen. Thanks for this.

‘A high end Chinese sweatshop…’ 😂 I don’t think I’m autistic but I generally hate talking to 95% of people. It’s a struggle…. I do kind of want their 24mm and hope they go wider in the future.

You're a great Dad Vu, Keep moving forward dude! (you're also my favourite Tube Doucher)

Vu, I have been following your channel for a while and love your humor and the quality of your content. This video went to another level. Incredibly moving, with moments of laugh-out-loud humor. I had to go back and watch it with my headphones to fully appreciate the internal monologue. Award Winning!

I really appreciate showing your true self and vulnerabilities, it's what sets you different from the other YouDouchers out there. I can totally relate to you as a father with a child with special needs and the challenges it faces. I'm glad you're in your sons corner, to help him out with his journey that he is not alone. Keep up the good work and being yourself!

An amazing video!!! It strikes home because my son is also on the spectrum. Dad’s talking about autism is something that isn’t really publicly talked about, so thank you for shedding some light on the topic.

Keep doing what you are doing, and all the best to you and your family!

Dude.. this is one bad ass vid. Wow man… Sound design is crazy good, well written, crazy story telling skills, engaging and a video that represents what videography is…. And that’s coming from me a canon user lol.. Totally engaging. Ip you want to be da best, ip you want to be profeshownal… keep doing your thang… you’re already peofeshownal. I knew you had skills but man… Astonished how much skill you got. Cheers man.

Very inspiring. I believe I am struggling with autism too and after watching this I plan to get diagnosed. Thank you!

THIS IS SIMPLY AWESOME!!! Vu, I’ve never thought that you have so much directing and storytelling tallents!!! THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!! AWARD WINNING!!! And of course I wish to you and your family to simply forever be what you are already - A HAPPY FAMILY!!!

Super deep, awesome story and great review. Show, don't tell.

Incredible work. Great story! Bravo Vu.

You’re brilliant! I’m same diagnosis and have the same career!

This was dope!!! Keep grinding bro! Definitely love your touch on reviews and content in general!

Wish I had some popcorn with me while watching this man. This was beautiful and inspirational keep doing your thing my guy!!!

Sir, I salute you

Man this was beautiful. Reminds me of the one internal dialogue of The Beach.

This was amazing! You're not alone, Its my super power know.

inspiring work. thanks for sharing

Loved this from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing your story.

7.59 - I saw that bit of egg fall on the couch and I’m sure your wife did too 😂 Beautiful video man.

Amazing film and nothing I'd expect from a review! I can def relate because my Son is Autistic and after learning a lot more about it, I can see myself being Autistic as well. Thanks for sharing! 🙏

Wow Vu...that. was. really. powerful.

You are truly a great videographer. I love how you tell stories in pictures. I am a big FAN! Thank you & all the best from Germany/Spain

Wowwwwwwwwwww. Blown away literally. One of my fav channels 🫶

I just can't get interested in doing anything with anamorphic lenses. You seem comfortable with it. Always enjoy your shows, this one is no exception. It's nice to learn a little about people and their life problems, successes and failtures. It makes the videos a more personal experience for the viewer. Cheers

This is amazing bro great work you should make more of these

No words brother! 🤌🏼💥💯❤

Love It!!!! Thank you for sharing~~~! 😍😍

Well done.

You have shown me...a piece that is professional.... award-winning...do you have a course for 29.99? Excellent work!

I just ordered the 35mm. I really like the look of these lenses. Curious how these will look on an A7SIII. I saw a short in an FX3 in looked amazing.

Number 100! I like that lol

Wow!
