Another year, another Marvels of Media festival! Spec Labs is excited to share our return to this year’s 2025 Marvels of Media Festival as an educational partner and honoree!

The third annual Marvels of Media Festival was held this past March to share the outstanding work created by artists on the autism spectrum in a celebration hosted at New York’s Museum of the Moving Image. This year, on top of our educational partnership, Spec Labs’ psychological thriller short, “House of Masks,” made its New York premiere at the festival’s “Vibrant Voices: Four Shorts” screening event! "House of Masks" was screened at the festival on Friday, March 28th alongside three other short films. Learn more about the screening event here: Vibrant Voices: Four Shorts – Museum of the Moving Image.



“House of Masks” is co-directed by Spec Labs’ co-founder Jason Weissbrod, and the film’s star, Atticus Jackson. Though unable to attend the screening, Jackson shared a moving sentiment with Weissbrod upon learning about this momentous honor: “This is the biggest moment of my career.”


We are so happy to have been able to share our autistic, neurodivergent, and disabled artists’ work on a larger scale with the support of the Marvels of Media! Weissbrod represented Spec Labs at the March festival in Jackson’s stead, participating in a panel following the film’s screening where he engaged with fellow filmmakers in the “Vibrant Voices” category to discuss the makings of their films.

Weissbrod also hosted a networking event at the festival! The “Media-Maker Talk and Networking Mixer” took place on Saturday, March 29th and featured helpful advice, courtesy of Weissbrod, for artists working to build their professional connections, as well as their creative portfolios.

We are so excited and honored to have been recognized at the 2025 Marvels of Media Festival! We hope to continue working with the festival and meeting fellow artists who are working to support and celebrate the amazing creative talents of autistic artists.


Looking forward to next year!

하루 종일 앉아서 업무를 하다 보면 어깨와 허리 주변이 쉽게 뻐근해지는데, 편안한 관리로 몸의 긴장을 풀어주면 출장마사지 한결 가벼운 느낌을 받을 수 있습니다. 이동 시간을 아끼면서 원하는 장소에서 이용할 수 있다는 점이 특히 편리했습니다.

온라인에서 소규모 결제가 필요한 상황에 여러 선택지를 갖추고 있으면 이용 과정이 한층 편리해집니다. 소액결제 간단한 인증과 결제 절차를 활용할 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 자신의 소비 계획을 고려해 필요한 범위에서만 이용하고 결제 내역을 확인하는 것이 좋습니다.
