They then developed a gestural language for Renee, equating specific behaviors, like holding her ears, or poking her cell phone, with specific emotional states. The director and animators on Loop spoke with the consultants to gain a sense of the way that a non-speaking person might communicate their feelings differently. The audio recording for her voice performance was done by Vince Caro, on location in her home, as part of an effort to make the recording process as comfortable as possible.

The team brought in consultants from the Autistic Self Advocacy Network to ensure that Renee's portrayal would be authentic. Michael Warch and Krissy Cababa produced the short.

In a post-credits scene, Renee's recovered phone is resting in a bowl of rice and it receives a message from Marcus asking if she wants to go canoeing again. The two of them get back into the canoe and paddle back to the camp. The two repeat the sound that the phone made together. She sits up, takes the reed, and begins to giggle. Sobbing, she hides under the canoe while Marcus watches this unfold in bewilderment.Įventually, Marcus pulls up a reed and places it next to the canoe where Renee can see it. When they crash onto land, Renee has a meltdown and throws her phone, which falls into the lake. She frantically paddles out of the tunnel, nearly colliding with the speedboat in the process.

Then a speedboat races by and the sound of that boat reverberates, overwhelming Renee. He paddles them to a tunnel and has Renee play her phone so that the sound can reverberate.

This gives Marcus an idea to connect with her. He tries doing the same thing, and then Renee goes back to her phone. She has Marcus paddle through multiple times, and he realizes that she did not actually need to use an outhouse, but just wanted to touch the reeds.

When they pass by some reeds, Renee reaches out to let them brush past her arms. Marcus asks her to tell him what she wants and she responds by showing a poop emoji on her phone and signaling to a couple of outhouses. When Marcus attempts to show off his paddling skills, Renee is unimpressed and starts rocking the boat. Marcus attempts to speak with Renee, who is only able to mutter and make noises to express her feelings. Marcus arrives late and the camp counselor tells him to partner with her, much to his annoyance. Renee, a 13-year-old non-verbal autistic girl, sits patiently in a canoe waiting for a partner while playing with a sound app on her phone.
