Matthew Toffolo interviewed Brett Langolf about his documentary film “Generation: Cure.” Brett explained how the film began as a planned short documentary about a man running 65 miles in 65 hours to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis but evolved into a deeper story about the family’s journey after their niece Gabby passed away from the disease. The film was shot on very short notice with minimal funding, and Brett shared how they captured spontaneous moments like Chad’s emotional story on Gabby’s Bridge, which became a key scene in the film. Brett discussed the film’s impact, including how it raised $15,000 in pledges before the run even started, and mentioned plans for a follow-up film documenting the next fundraising event. The conversation also touched on the perception issue around cystic fibrosis being thought of as cured when it’s actually a disease that has had life extensions but not a complete cure.
