Purple Day — Would You Watch This on Saturday?

A poster poster for the short film “Under the Lights” by Miles Levin. The text reads, “Check out the new award winning short-film, ‘Under the Lights,’ by filmmaker Miles Levin, a person with epilepsy. In the film, a boy with epilepsy is desperate to feel like a regular kid, so he goes to prom despite knowing that the lights will make him have a seizures. The film features an all-star cast including Pearce Joza (Disney and Nickelodeon), Alyssa Jirrels (Disney and Marvel) and Greg Grunberg (Star Wars and Star Trek).

Saturday, March 26 is Purple Day, a worldwide date in which people wear purple and educate others on Epilepsy Awareness. It is also going to be the public premiere of the award-winning film, “Under the Lights.” Miles Levin, its creator, wants to make this short film into a longer, full-feature film — and I agree! — so one way you can help is to watch it on its March 26 release. I’ve seen it, and it’s phenomenal. I don’t remember the exact length, but it’s 10-15 minutes long. Can you join us to watch it? — Any time on Saturday?

The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan is promoting it on Facebook and Instagram.

“Prom season is here! Who wants to go?
