UNDER THE LIGHTS
Sam is a boy with epilepsy, so desperate to feel like a regular kid, he goes to prom knowing that the lights will make him have a seizure.
Director Bio
Miles Levin is a filmmaker who hails from Santa Rosa, CA. His work has been seen in festivals all over the world including Sedona Film Festival and Rhode Island International Film Festival. His 9th and most recent film, ‘Under the Lights’ is a very personal expression of his experience having epilepsy. Despite affecting 3.5 million in the U.S. alone, epilepsy is almost never seen on screen, and faces a brutal stigma. Peers have been ejected from friend groups and even families just for having the condition. Miles believes that in an age of new voices in film, ‘Under the Lights’ stands to begin a conversation about epilepsy in cinema, and bring to light a very large but invisible voice in our community. Miles is currently in development on a feature version of ‘Under the Lights’."
