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.
What the EF Podcast
A podcast for all our epilepsy WTF moments.
What the EF is a podcast that chats and chuckles at the ridiculous, poignant, heartbreaking, and funny moments that happen with epilepsy. By adding laughter to the conversation, people can connect, lower their guards, and open themselves to vulnerable discussions.
This platform tackles the day-to-day not talked about in the doctor’s office, like dating, careers, school, and stigma. Landis Wiedner brings in experts, celebs, and regular folks to shed light on taboo topics in the seizure sphere.
