Ian Daffern is the director of Railfan, a documentary following photographer Travis Huggett as he makes portraits of six autistic kids in New York who find their world in the subway. We sat down to talk about why the subway feels like home to these kids, what transit workers notice from the other side of the cab door, and the newspaper article that set the whole film in motion.
