The documentary, “It’s Just Parkinson’s” is an inspiring and emotional look at one man’s journey to live life to the fullest, while living with a disease that has no cure.

John Cullen is a 62-year-old man battling Parkinson’s disease with grit, courage, grace, and a warrior mindset.

A lifelong athlete, Parkinson’s has slowly taken Cullen out of many athletic pursuits. Yet after being introduced to powerlifting, and incorporating it into his workouts, the improvement to his mobility has been staggering.

IJP is about life, death, brotherhood and the profound impact of mindset in the face of adversity.

With all of my documentary film festival news, please remember dnafilms still does corporate/broadcast video production 😎

Here's my newest testimonial - thank you Robyn Robertson and Karen Bowman from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF)

"I utilized the services of dnafilms on two separate Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) projects; one is a six-part vodcast series and the other a five-part series. Each vodcast episode involved existing separate footage from multiple guests, recorded on different devices in different locations, as well as a variety of still, stock and previously recorded visuals and audio tracks. Diane took great care to learn about the goals of our project and understand our audiences and dissemination strategy before she started work. Diane also had terrific ideas to help us create a strong visual design for both series that blended our organization’s brand with that of each sponsor.

Our sponsors were extremely pleased with Diane’s ability to meet some very demanding timelines. She was incredibly responsive in answering questions and keeping the production timelines on track. I would highly recommend DNA Films to any business in need of video/audio production and editing services and I will certainly be using them for future projects. "
