I made a short film in tribute to my grandfather's parkinson's
Hi everyone,
I am a 19 year old filmmaker and I recently finished a short film titled EPILOGUE about a painter who discovers he has Parkinson's and can no longer paint due to his trembling hands.
I made this film as a tribute to my grandfather who passed away from Parkinson's a few years ago. This was my way of processing that loss and trying to honor what people living with this disease go through.
The synopsis is this: Christopher was once a prominent painter, but for years the artist has vanished from the public scene. He now lives a solitary life with his only remaining joy: painting. Until one day, his hands begin to tremble.
This 5min short film is not here to be negative, instead, I am trying to give hope. Before the official release, I would love to get some feedback from this community. Does the portrayal feel honest and respectful? Is there anything that feels off or that I should reconsider before the release ?
Thank you for watching, it means a lot.
