What I Need To Live

Overview

Carmella Lotti, Matthew's 88-year-old grandmother, talks about the thirteen odd medical prescriptions she takes on a daily basis to keep herself alive. Intended as a new wave public service announcement, it offers a grim look at a future dependent on medication with no alternative recourse. 3 minutes.

Postscript

As of February 2005, Mrs. Lotti takes an additional two pills not mentioned in the film, one for her kidneys and one to prevent Alzheimer's, bringing the total to fifteen medications.
