ECSTASY

  • Grant Taylor

A disabled father and son try to buy drugs so the Dad can dance with his wife. What could possibly go wrong? Inspired by my Dad's 20 year battle with Parkinson's disease and the revelation that ecstasy can temporarily alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's - I set out to make a movie about disability with a difference.
