Film Information

Charon is a short documentary about Myron Dyal, a California artist who has temporal lobe epilepsy. Myron creates striking paintings, drawings, and sculptures inspired by visions he has had during seizures. For decades, Myron faced abuse and hardship because of his epilepsy, and discovered art as a powerful way to work through his pain. As reality starts to unravel around him, Myron struggles with accepting his epilepsy as both a terrifying illness and his only chance for survival.
