Over the last year, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting and cheerleading a movie that is about to go into production. It’s called “Under the Lights.” It’s directed by Miles Levin and has a star- studded cast.
A couple of years ago, Miles Levin directed and released a 12 minute long, award-winning short film with the same name. Sam, a teenager with epilepsy, is desperate to be just like any other kid, and he decides to go to prom, knowing that the lights will likely make him have a seizure.
Director Miles Levin is also a person with epilepsy, and years after the creation of the short film, this full-feature movie is going in production, having secured a talented cast and raised a great deal of money to make it happen. Miles Levin, the Epilepsy Foundation, and many others in our larger community are thrilled to support a film that will build epilepsy awareness with empathy.
Oh, and per my title, my name really is going to be in the credits. And I’m going to get to go to the premiere. (I’m really excited about this!) I’m proud of Miles and our wider community.
I’d love to show you the 12 minute short film: Here’s Under the Lights! Stay tuned for a longer movie in theatres in 2025.
