ISO: A Film About Diabetes

Overview

"ISO is a short film about diabetes— showing one of my near-daily routines that seems dull and repetitive to me, yet weird and unordinary to others un-touched by type 1 diabetes. The term “iso” is known as a prefix meaning equal- I see it as a nod to this process being my regular despite it not being the equal or same as others’. “ISO” can also be read as “in search of”…consider this piece a posting “in search of” belonging and of people who share similar challenges. I have found that many times our differences and struggles can isolate us, but I have also found that it is these differences that draw us closest together when we find individuals who share similar ones." - Samuel Letnik
