In 2018, we produced A Teachable Moment, a feature-length documentary about strokes with the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, and MedStar Health. Throughout the documentary, we produced carefully-researched animated scenes that explained the basics:
"What is a Stroke?"
Know the F.A.S.T Signs
What are the risk factors of Stroke?
After the premiere of the A Teachable Moment, we began working with other organizations that are dedicated to studying strokes and treating survivors in with cutting-edge technology.
The Stroke Comeback Center on Aphasia
The Kessler Foundation on Spatial Neglect
MedStar NRH & Georgetown University Medical Center on Brain Plasticity
And earlier this year, we produced a PSA for America’s communities to become “Stroke Smart Cities” and adopt specific public education.

It’s been an honor to work on these projects, but the work must continue. We encourage everyone to learn and share this information widely. And as you become a stroke advocate, please check out these amazing resources:
