His Neighbor Phil - an event supporting The Art of Alzheimer's and "The Artist Within"
"I just finished watching the movie. It is as close to the truth about Alzheimer's as you can get. It shows the moments of joy and the moments of pain, for everybody in the family, including the person with the disease. It shows the moments of clarity and the moments of clouds obscuring the vision of everybody in the family, including the person with the disease. At last, a film that speaks the unvarnished truth in all its splendor and in all its heartbreak. This is a film that sets the standard for films of its genre. I hope everyone on earth gets to see it. " CaroleLarkinMA,CMC,CAEd,QDCS,EICS Third Age Services LLC "His Neighbor Phil, is indeed a great film and right on the money for accuracy in typical 'key players' and behaviors, reactions, approaches, beliefs, and common concerns regarding dementia. I am sure 'first timers' as well as those who have made their journey will resonate with the film allowing new conversations to happen, awareness to grow, and belief that we can CHOOSE to make a positive difference in how people living with dementia are able to live their lives."

"His Neighbor Phil", stars Stephanie Zimbalist who expertly and respectfully portrays Mary, a woman living with Alzheimer's. When her devoted husband Harvey, played by Daniel Roebuck, discovers the power of music to reawaken her to the outside world, he uses music to create more of the meaningful moments of connection with her that he so desperately longs for.
