I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest when I first mounted a camera on the back of my mom's wheelchair.

It was really through the collaboration with Adam and Senem that it became a narrative documentary feature film.

We were able to film without anybody there except the people on camera.

And when you run the camera this long what that creates is this kind of hyper realism where people are so at ease, so relaxed, so themselves that it's just remarkable.

We wanted to give [an] authentic experience of how it would feel to be Kathryn.

But at the same time, [the footage was very challenging] because you see that she's always in pain.

But I didn't expect the film to be this joyful.

I [thought it would] be much more bitter.

We found a way to process the authentic humor of Kathryn.

Now having the opportunity to screen the film and to hear from viewers at film festivals- what surprised me has been just how kind of relatable the story is for so many people.

Having watched other films about ALS and seen stories of heroics and people achieving things despite having this disease, those films made him and his family feel incompetent and inadequate in comparison.

All they can do is just get through the day.

All they can manage to do is get their mother dressed.

And what we wanted to do with this film is to really reach out and say, you know, what you're doing is enough.

Just getting through the day is heroic enough.
