Welcome to a very special episode of Film Surgery!

This week, we are discussing our film, Unidentified. It follows the daily life of two brothers, Shawn (Eliot Derbenti) and Eli (Nick Wright), as they search for a mysterious creature that appears in their neighborhood. This movie was incredibly fun to film and served as a fantastic story for my first experience co-directing, editing, and starring in!

In this episode of Film Surgery, hosts Sanjay and Nick take on a more profound and emotionally resonant topic: the depiction of Parkinson’s disease and related neurological conditions in cinema. Their discussion centers around the 1990 film Awakenings, directed by Penny Marshall and starring Robin Williams and Robert De Niro.
