6 Months
(Documentary, 2007, running time: 54 minutes)
Filmmaker Ray Schmitt has a genetic disorder called Marfan Syndrome which affects his aorta. This film explores his own life as he goes about making films on others. In six months he will find out if he needs open heart surgery to correct this condition—surgery which he is afraid could alter his personality.
[Ray and Judy] Schmitt have created a rare cinematic masterpiece that I will never forget. . . . they finally turn the camera on themselves. The result is a self-portrait of their lives 360 degrees. . . . Hopefully millions of people will get to see this film on PBSs P.O.V. or some other national broadcast.
—Steve Fesenmaier, Film Reviewer.
Screened at the South Charleston Museum, Jan. 2009
