A Princeton movie night presented by Epilepsy Services of New Jersey
A teenager with epilepsy risks everything for an unforgettable shot at prom, first love, and one night of real freedom, even as the lights threaten to take it all away.
Featuring Nick Offerman, Lake Bell, Mark Duplass, Randall Park, and Marin Hinkle, Under the Lights brings epilepsy into sharp focus through a story about belonging, independence, first love, and the risks that can come with simply wanting to feel free.
The filmmaker will join us in person for the screening, audience Q&A, poster signing, and meet-and-greet.
Under the Lights follows a teenager living with epilepsy as he takes a chance on one unforgettable night at prom. The film explores the tension between safety and independence, the desire to fit in, and what it means to be understood.
Written and directed by filmmaker Miles Levin, who lives with epilepsy, the feature grew from an award-winning short film into a broader effort to bring authentic epilepsy representation to the screen.
The Princeton screening is part of the Under the Lights Feature Screenings collection and includes an in-person filmmaker Q&A and free poster signing.
