A Word from Our Founder
Yes, And…X was born from a personal journey.
When my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2001, we set out on a two-month, 20,000 mile baseball road trip that became the award-winning Boys of Summer documentary film series.
What started as a way to cope became something more: a realization that storytelling and connection can transform how we live with this disease. We have learned that Connection is Medicine.
Today, that insight lives here. We help others become the heroes of their own stories. X represents the unknown, the place where creativity, courage, and possibility begin.
