This is not a Movie Health Community evaluation of Under the Lights, but it is a review. At the request of the director, I will post a detailed evaluation of the film closer to its anticipated wide release next year.

Under the Lights is a deeply empathetic and eye-opening film, an intimate look into life with epilepsy. This film is going to be the standard against which other stories depicting epilepsy are measured. Scenes of this film are going to be uncomfortable to watch, but to exclude those moments would be to sanitize the experiences depicted. As the lead character shares insights into concerns with quality of life, the audience will hear some of the most powerful statements in years.

I'd like to thank Miles Levin and the production and marketing staff behind this film for making a screening in St. Petersburg, FL possible.

Under the Lights: An Epilepsy Short Film (2020)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Under the Lights has no cause for concern with flashing light hazards.

This entire film is shot with a handheld camera, but the hands holding it are very steady. There is brief use of a mild double-vision effect.

Flashing Lights: 0/10. Motion Sickness: 2/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: This film accurately depicts the anxiety, disorientation, fluttering eyes, and other symptoms that can precede a seizure. No convulsing is shown.

ADMIN NOTE: We’d like to extend our praise to the creative minds behind this short film. One plot element would usually demand strobe lights, and the choice was made to forego the strobe lights in this film.

The following is a note directly from Miles Levin, writer and director of this film!

I made this film because I had never seen an authentic, empathetic portrait of what it feels like to have epilepsy. As an advocate I noticed after several years that most awareness campaigns largely draw audiences of people who already know about epilepsy. To truly raise awareness and beat stigma, we have to reach people who truly know nothing about us, and they have to want to be there. Movies and tv are of the only places in culture where people go out of their way to hear from someone new. My hope is that with one authentic movie, we can gain more interest in our lives from the public than any campaign ever before. Now we are developing the feature.
