The Tic Code (1999)
The Tic Code (also known as Lessons in the Tic Code) is an independent drama film directed by Gary Winick and written by Polly Draper. It tells of a single mother, the relationship she forms with a jazz musician who has Tourette syndrome, and her young son—a jazz piano prodigy—also with the disorder. The musician and the boy form a friendship and the film is loosely based upon the experiences of Draper's jazz musician husband, Michael Wolff, who provided the film's score. Draper, star of Thirtysomething, acts as the mother and Gregory Hines as the musician. Christopher George Marquette portrays the boy.
