The Rio Grande Division will host the MS Moving Forward Film Festival, showing all five films throughout a two-day period beginning at 8:00 p.m. May 23 & 24, 2008; 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. ABQ Uptown (in front of Marcello’s Chophouse) Hosted by Dan Mayfield; Free & open to the public For more information contact Suzanne Lawson at 505 243 2792 or at suzanne.lawson@nmss.org MS Film Festival - May 23 & 24, 2008 Designed as a way for those with MS to demonstrate how they are moving their lives forward despite their challenges, the MS Moving Forward Film Festival’s inaugural year received over one hundred submissions from twenty-two different states and from the UK. Ranging in age from 10 – 72, all submissions were received from people with MS, as well as friends and family members. Difficult as it was, the field was narrowed to the top twenty entries, which were forwarded to the Film Committee to determine the finalists. The Film Committee, made up of six individuals with MS who work in the entertainment industry include a Broadway actor and a Producer for HBO. The Film Committee reviewed the submissions, and chose five finalists who have been given the opportunity to bring their ideas to life by making their films with a professional production company. The five films, each 5 – 7 minutes in length, premiered at the National MS Society’s national conference in Dallas in October, 2007. About Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and it stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide. About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. We help each person address the challenges of living with MS. In 2006 alone, through our home office and 50 state network of chapters, we devoted nearly $126 million to programs that enhanced more than one million lives to move us closer to a world free of MS, and the Society also invested more than $46 million to support 380 research projects around the world. We are people who want to do something about MS NOW. Join the movement at www.nationalMSsociety.org Special thanks to: The City of Albuquerque, Barry Bitzer,  Carrie Wells, DuWayne Ordonez, and Beth Brodie.
