Description:

What would you do if you were 29 and found you may only have a few years to live? So Much So Fast is about the remarkable events set in motion when Stephen Heywood discovers he has ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and his brother Jamie becomes obsessed with finding a cure. Nominated for Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, So Much So Fast was released theatrically to critical acclaim and was broadcast on networks around the world, including the premier PBS series Frontline. Format: Digital 16:9 Widescreen

Features:
  • From Oscar-nominated directors Steven Ascher and Jeanne Jordan (Troublesome Creek), comes a new documentary that is a black-humored cliffhanger of romance, guerilla science and the meaning of time.

  • "Triumphant! A story that keeps expanding until it seems to fill the universe. Unforgettable! Four stars - Boston Globe ; "Humorous. Impressive. Effortlessly profound." Slant Magazine

  • "A perceptive portrait of an entire family in revolt against fate." - The New York Times

  • "Director-writers Steven Ascher and Jeanne Jordan have created a beautiful film that unfolds like a thriller. Profound questions sneak up on you almost without you realising it." - Sydney Morning Herald

  • "Filmed with insight, tenderness and even a little black humour, the aptly titled So Much So Fast is concerned with the 'intimacy of bad luck', but is truly about love, courage and discovery." - The Telegraph (London)

5Great learning tool  Sep 20, 2009
Very good resource for those wanting to learn more about ALS and it's affects on patients and families as a whole. Great Hospice tool.

5Motivates you to re-align priorities  Jan 01, 2008
Well put-together and though-provoking. Every scene confronts the family with decisions that challenge their perspective--as well as the viewer's--about what comes first in life. Even the seemingly mundane daily tasks resonates with significance when it may be one of the last time you get to share that experience with the afflicted family member. How many of us could be jolted from the incessant "work-only" mentality that this society place on us to lift our hands off the keyboard and spend a quiet afternoon with someone--even if they were not in imminent danger of a life-terminating disease--just because it is the more important thing to do? This is a heart-warming movie that the audience--whether they have any member of their family with a life-threatening affliction or not--will gain a lot of perspective.

5Unbelieveable  Dec 22, 2007
Lou Gehrig died in 1942. So little change, so much misery. This film puts the problem in focus yet how valuable human life can be, even with such a horrible, debilatating disease can be. I hope it helps to shame drug companies to finally mobilize on this disease and for the public to demand it. Obviously, the public opening their wallets will help too.
