Film Description:
UK charity Epilepsy Action has teamed up with upcoming composer, music producer and drummer Alex Marchisone (CBS, BBC, Channel 4 etc) to gather real-life experiences of people with epilepsy to create an immersive animated music video to show what a seizure feels like.
As the leading UK epilepsy charity, we’re here to create a world without limits for people with epilepsy and know education is on the key ways we’re going to get there. An overwhelming number of our supporters told us improving public attitudes towards epilepsy is their top wish. Epilepsy affects 1 in 100 people in the UK, with 79 facing a new diagnosis every day, and yet we know it’s still hard for members of the public to understand the true impact of living with a fluctuating and invisible condition.
We think this short film really brings to life the varied emotions and feelings people with epilepsy feel before, during and after a seizure, in a way we can all relate to. Not only will it help to educate members of the public, we know it will also give people affected by epilepsy a voice – helping them feel better understood.
We worked hard on making sure the film is true and the experience authentic by using real life seizures accounts as basis for the script and by working hand in hand with composer Alex Marchisone who suffers from generalised epilepsy.
