SO MUCH SO FAST
USA, 2005, 87 MIN
DIRECTED BY STEVEN ASCHER & JEANNE JORDAN
EAST COAST PREMIERE
When asked what he would do differently in the years since being diagnosed with a paralyzing neurological disorder, 34-year-old Stephen Heywood replies, "Have more sex on film." SO MUCH SO FAST documents one family's response (from black humor to frenzied activity) when Stephen is diagnosed with ALS, a disease drug companies tend to ignore because there is not enough profit in curing it. Stephen's race against time to start a family is mirrored by his brother Jamie, who launches a guerilla science-research group that raises millions of dollars to find a cure. Through every remission and setback, the filmmakers were there for four years capturing the unpredictable, inspirational, and cautionary small moments in this truly remarkable story. The latest work from the directors of the Sundance-winning and Oscar-nominated Troublesome Creek: A Midwestern, SO MUCH SO FAST is a riveting movie about the instant intimacy of bad luck and the way one family fought back.
