Ending epilepsy stigma through filmmaking – with Under the Lights director Miles Levin

Miles Levin is a filmmaker and public speaker living with epilepsy. His short film “Under the Lights” starring Pearce Joza and Alyssa Jirrels has become a beacon for epilepsy representation in movies. The film has inspired people to create daily fan art, learn more about epilepsy and open up about their disabilities. He is now making the full length film of Under the Lights, in an effort to create the single biggest epilepsy awareness campaign in history.

During this episode, you will hear Miles talk about:

• How his life experience with epilepsy inspired Under the Lights
• The powerful impact that Under the Lights is having on audiences
• His fundraising campaign to make the full-length film of Under the Lights (and how you can support the campaign!)
