Memories

The film follows Bill Martin, my grandfather, through his life. From his early childhood, to playing high school sports, and ultimately becoming a father/husband/grandfather. It is the life progression of a young, superb athlete and all-around active man to an older individual, facing a horrible medical condition that is slowly shutting down his brain and his ability to move. Using my grandfather’s story as a reference, I would like to reflect on the lessons that he has taught me as someone who was diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2022. Specifically, the humor that he exudes or how to enjoy the small things when you are facing hard times. The film follows Bill Martin, my grandfather, through his life.
