As Mark Mehl was reaching the top of his profession, a new challenge presented itself, proving to be the most difficult of all, a rare case of spinal muscular atrophy. In this internet video trailer, Mark shares his unshakeable positive attitude and philosophy of celebrating life. Though completely immobilized and breathing with the help of a respirator, Mark harnesses the power of mind and spirit, and new technologies to remain fully engaged in all aspects of life.

In order to best capture Mark's story in his own element and at his own pace, and with minimal impact on his physical surroundings, Reel Biography, http://www.reelbiography.com/, went to extra lengths in developing a means of producing and shooting at least 50% of this film remotely from their New York Headquarters. Reel Biography's novel "Remote Video Production" system (patent pending) enabledthem to film over the course of 2 weeks, in broadcast quality over a two-way internet connection, and without the continual need and expense of an onsite production crew at Mark's home in Connecticut.
