I had my first seizure at age two, from there my life has been a wonderful, crazy roller coaster. Even though I went through many terrible stages, I still wouldn’t change a thing. Remember, life is a gift and it’s your outlook on it that effects how you live it.

So Smile, Be Kind, and See Ya Soon,
~Kenz

Seizure the Day is a passion project based on my real experience with epilepsy along with families’ stories I’ve met along the way. My hope is you walk away from this film more educated about epilepsy and the importance of living life to the fullest.
