In 2019, I created a personal film called “The Deepest Cut,” which focused on my brother’s life with Multiple Sclerosis, told from his perspective and those of his mother, father, and son.
Four years later, I completed another side of living with Multiple Sclerosis, but this time from the perspective of my mother. This look at the disease does not spare the viewer of its ruthlessness. The narration is honest and matter-of-fact, if not a bit stoic. But through this, we glimpse the underlying core of a drained and fragile spirit.
