Addicted To Life

NYC Public Premiere, Chelsea Film Festival, October 2023

A paralyzed Belgian athlete takes control of her slow, painful decline by planning for assisted suicide, and paradoxically becomes a world champion in sports. As her body gives way and her time left becomes unpredictable, she fights to seize the most from every remaining moment.

Marieke Vervoort chose to end her brave struggle October 22, 2019.

The Gymnast

A film by Charlotte Glynn

Keep an eye out for THE GYMNAST, currently in post-production.

In 1993 there’s little to look forward to in the decaying, former mill-town of Pittsburgh. But for Monica (age 16) an aspiring Olympic gymnast and her father Rich, who’s dedicated himself to his daughter’s success, the future’s bright. When Monica suffers a potentially career-ending injury the delicate balance of their strong relationship falls apart forcing both father and daughter to accept hard truths about each other or risk losing everything.
