Being 1 in 26 | Epilepsy Short Film |

Hello World! Alright, this was my final project for my Film 118 class. Our assignment was called "The Real" in which we had to take something real from our life or someone else's and turn it into a video. I, of course chose my epilepsy. I was inspired by the comparison that, "having epilepsy is like having your own personal stalker, it's always with you and you never know when it will strike next." This project is dear to my heart and I've had the idea for awhile. Shoutout to Ellie Trotter for depicting the character of Elda so incredibly! I can't wait to see you on the big screen one day My goal for this project is to share with the world some signals of oncoming seizures so everyday people can learn how to recognize when someone may begin seizing. For those that don't know, I have epilepsy, but will be three years seizure free this upcoming June. I have never let my epilepsy stop me from pursuing my dreams, and anyone out there with or without a disorder, you should think the same! You can do anything when you put hard work into it! I really hope you enjoy this production! Leave your thoughts below! So Smile, Be Kind, and See Ya Soon, ~Mackenzie Hopfauf NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED!! Song: Fly By: Ludovico Einaudi
