Under the Lights

Our dear friend, Writer & Director Miles Levin, was the recipient of the 2022 Legacy Bridges Foundation, Inc. Bridging the Gap Award for his work in bridging the gap in Media Excellence. Miles' short film Under the Lights, is the story of Sam, a boy with epilepsy, so desperate to feel like a normal kid, he goes to prom knowing that the lights will make him have a seizure. Cinema has historically stigmatized and ignored people with epilepsy, and Miles' shares his personal story in a way that all can connect.
