Communicating with Aphasia: A Medical Narrative

A short film I made about the impact of Aphasia with my Dad as the star. I made this during my time at the University of Alberta doing the Arts in Medicine Elective - I highly recommend it if you find yourself wanting to exercise more creativity in the field of medicine.

Also special shout out to The Aphasia Institute in Toronto, they've been a huge part of my dad's success and shaping how we can reframe the idea of communication to help people with aphasia.
"Life is bigger than aphasia" is one of their catchphrases.
Their website is: www.aphasia.ca/
