SENDER FILMS

Cinematographer Jeff Cunningham is our long-time collaborator, climbing buddy and dear friend. He was instrumental in the creation of Valley Uprising and other projects.

Last year, Jeff, at 53, was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease and forced to retire from his 30 year career in the film business. The biggest blow for Jeff is how it might get in the way of being a dad for his 9-year-old daughter, Tenaya.

But there is hope: Jeff recently scored a spot in an experimental treatment program which aims to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s while additional cures come down the pipeline.

It’s not cheap: he needs our help covering medical costs, moving expenses, caregivers and monthly trips back to Ventura to spend time with Tenaya. We are chipping in and asking everyone else to do the same. Please see the link to the GoFundMe in our bio.

Through it all, Jeff has been his usual upbeat, resilient, and loving self. We believe he can fight this. Let’s all help Jeff get his life back.
