Please join us for a special event in New York City on Sunday, June 7th 2026, as The Mark Shaparin Foundation presents:
Movie Night in NYC featuring “Under the Lights”
Tickets are now on sale for this advance screening with Filmmaker Miles Levin in Person! (Please use link)
We will begin with a short-film, “Informed Silence” by Director Spencer Choice. “Informed Silence” is a documentary introducing Mark, a vibrant and dynamic 10 year old boy who passed away from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and unveils the profound loss and trauma his shattered family and community continue to experience.
Then we will watch the full-length feature film “Under the Lights” by Director Miles Levin. “Under the Lights” is a ground breaking feature film about belonging and the universal truth that everyone has a silent struggle. A teenager risks everything for one unforgettable shot at prom, first love, and the kind of trouble that might finally make him feel normal, even if his epilepsy turns that night into a dangerous gamble. Featuring Nick Offerman, Lake Bell, Mark Duplass, Randall Park, and Marin Hinkle, “Under the Lights” is the first movie of its kind to bring epilepsy into sharp focus.
The Directors of both films will be in person for the screening and Q&A. Miles will be offering free signed “Under the Lights” posters and a photo opportunity. Sips and snacks provided (Wine, Beer, Light Food).
We would like to thank UCB for their generous support as the Lead Sponsor of this event.
