Recently Jeff turned his sights to documentary filmmaking, shooting and directing the 50-minute acclaimed film, “It Seems Like Magic, But It’s Science.” This film follows a group of 10 high altitude trekkers, three with Parkinson’s Disease, as they make their way to Mt. Everest Base Camp to raise funds and awareness for a cell replacement research project that could end the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Click below to watch the film:
