This is a story of a man on the verge of losing everything after suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and his last-ditch decision to try medical marijuana to treat the debilitating symptoms. “Remembering Us” explores how families cope with this long-term disability and the stigma associated with it. It’s an emotional journey of overcoming biases and the patient’s own misconceptions toward using marijuana: a recognized medical option with its own set of stigmas.
The filmmakers are Scott Takeda and Lori Kay Allred of Wine Dog Pictures, LLC. Scott and Lori are a real-life TBI patient and caregiver. Through this film, they’ll share their story of a family working through his long recovery, and how they are now experiencing a new normal after the profound changes. They also focus their lens on the caregiver, a woman carrying the load for her family financially and emotionally, until she eventually hits her breaking point. Now in post production for a festival run, the film has received media attention from Westword, to CBS-4, to KOA Radio, to Channel 2 News.
