Nowhere To HIde

About this Short Film

Nowhere to Hide is a spoken word short film written, produced, and created by Yasmina McGlone. Set to her own poetry and intimate personal footage, the film offers an unfiltered glimpse into life with myoclonus dystonia, a rare genetic neurological movement condition. Viewers see Yasmina as she truly is, speaking, living, moving, sharing a moment with her niece, including the involuntary jerks and spasms that have shaped her life since the age of three. As someone who prefers to keep her harder days quiet and off camera, this is her way of offering a small and honest glimpse into the day to day. It is a film about dancing bodies, listening to whispers, and learning that we have no reason to feel shame.
