Magnificus
Glimpses is a shared collection of intimate thoughts and experiences from a man dying of a rare and aggressive neurological disease Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). Framed by his own writing, we discover his mind is still very much alive. Three short years ago Gregory Wilsdon was diagnosed with MSA. At the time of diagnosis he was able-bodied, teaching at two schools and raising a daughter with his wife Kate. Now Gregory is completely immobile and requires 24/7 around the clock care. Every day is a battle to live. Every arbitrary task that we take for granted is like climbing Mount Everest. Gregory is a prisoner in his own body. But through this dramatic physical change, 'He is still the same person on the inside.' 'Glimpses' is Gregory's battle with MSA in his own words. It is a window into his day to day struggles and a chance for us the viewer to understand what it is like to live with MSA. Gregory's thoughts are expressed as narration as we experience a very personal first hand account of his life living with this debilitating illness.
