An Autobiographical Journey Through Time and Cancer
In this private screening in support of the film, local filmmaker Matthew Thomas Ross provides an original look into his personal journey of a rare cancer diagnosis in his 30s. Through expansive childhood home videos, vulnerable interviews, and intimate footage, we follow Matthew as he documents and edits his battle against Stage 4 appendix cancer. While traveling through the seasons, he struggles to navigate the physical and mental toll of a diagnosis full of so many unknowns. Ultimately finding hope and purpose in completing his first feature film— this documentary.
Did we mention it’s all shot on 16mm film? “If this is my last movie, I might as well shoot it on film cause I’m a filmmaker, right?”
Proceeds from the event go towards post-production costs with a portion going towards OHSU Knight Cancer Center.
