The Epilepsy Project
This fall, Light House student filmmakers partnered with the Neurology Department at the University of Virginia to create a series of educational videos about epilepsy for the UVA Adolescent Epilepsy Clinic. These student filmmakers interviewed various people with epilepsy about their lives, their struggles, and their triumphs. Through this project, our student filmmakers are working to create videos that both inform and inspire those that might see them.
