KATYA’S CONTRIBUTION
While working with JV8INC on Bugonia, Katya contributed to the research and street scouting process for the character Don, Teddy’s autistic cousin played by Aidan Delbis.
Together with the casting team, she explored autistic and neurodivergent communities, reviewing hundreds of potential candidates across the spectrum and attending festivals, community events and meet‑ups popular among autistic people to connect with individuals who might be open to auditioning.
