I’m grateful to share this interview with Miles Levin — filmmaker, writer, creator, speaker, and a tremendous friend. Miles is the creator of Under the Lights, both a short film available on YouTube and a full feature film set to release later this year. Together, we recorded this conversation in partnership with MiYET (Michigan Youth with Epilepsy in Transition) to talk about the film and offer encouragement to teens living with epilepsy as they imagine goals and build a sense of purpose for their future.
As we explored the themes of Under the Lights, we kept coming back to one core idea: “Treat epilepsy with community.” This phrase, first lifted up at the Epilepsy Foundation of America Leadership Conference, feels like both a conviction and an invitation. I’m grateful to Miles for crafting a story that sparks meaningful questions and reminds us of the power of connection — because none of us are meant to face life’s challenges alone. I hope you’ll watch and share!
