MS Comes to the Big Screen

Dr. Richard Pellegrino, a neurologist who has been treating MS patients for 20 years, is about to put a whole new light on the MS experience. His plans are to bring the challenges and victories of those with MS directly to the public in a full-length, feature film.
This production is not a documentary or a story about MS. Instead, it will be a movie meant for entertainment, like any other film showing at the local theatre – complete with a dramatic story line and talented actors. While the plot will be unrelated to MS, a main character in the film will be dealing with and overcoming the daily challenges of MS.

Dr. Pellegrino sees this movie as the ideal vehicle to raise awareness of MS in an entertaining format. He is looking to individuals with MS to assist with the story, and wants to hear about common problems experienced by people with MS, along with effective solutions they may employ.

If you would like to find out more or even be a part of the movie’s creation, please visit the movie’s website at www.yourmovieproject.com. Anyone interested may email his or her own stories of large or small triumphs. In addition to contributing stories, volunteers from the MS community may suggest plot lines, register as an artist or composer, or get involved in other ways. If you do not have access to email, you may write to Dr. Pellegrino at P.O. Box 20230, Hot Springs, AR 71903.
