Inspired by true stories, an emergency doctor struggling under the weight of life and death decisions must confront his own hidden traumas as he teaches a young medical student what it truly means to save a life.

Told with raw intensity and emotional depth, Life Support has won multiple jury awards for Best Short Film, Best First Time Filmmaker, & Best Performance. It offers a rare glimpse into the world of emergency medicine, where every choice can mean the difference between life and loss.

More than a film, Life Support has sparked a national campaign to heal a system in crisis. It has inspired an educational platform that uses film and storytelling to confront burnout and moral injury among doctors, nurses, and frontline responders, with the goal of reaching medical schools, residencies, and hospitals across the country.
