Gallop is an enchanting, ground-breaking film, directed by BAFTA nominated film director Michael Pearce 🐎🎥 Gallop has been developed and launched by Shift.ms, a digital charity for people living with multiple sclerosis and has already been shortlisted for 'Best Short Film' at Rushes Soho Shorts Festival.
The spellbinding film featuring Hollyoaks actress Holly Weston, has been created to help better convey the impact of a diagnosis with MS, the most common neurological condition affecting young adults. It uses narrative to explore the life-changing event of diagnosis through a compelling love story rather than solely focusing on the disease.

Well, my wife divorced me.
@@andyhope9485 I hear you and understand. Sorry. X
“Maybe nothing much will happen but I’ll always be scared that it will…” more than five years later and this has defined so much. That hits me more than any part of this.
I was diagnosed a few weeks after having my 2nd child. I was so devastated that every ex I ever had could say “wow dodged that bullet” or that my husband’s ex could sneer and say “so much for his happy ending!” However my husband has stood by me, and I created an application around the Spoon Theory which is a great way for us to talk about my limitations without being too hurtful. :)
I was diagnosed April 2, 2023. I had a flare up from head to toe right side of my body. For 10 years, since the age of 19, I had symptoms, but I was never diagnosed until age 29. At first it didn’t change my life, till after I got out of the hospital. Had vertigo for 3 weeks. Felt very depressed, I understood that this is a serious situation, and I try to enjoy every, movement I make. I work, clean, drive, do laundry, enjoy time with friends. Just had ocrevus infusion last week. It was a long 6 months to get on it. Anything to keep moving
Nah, Never be scared of what's gonna happen next, look forward to the next challenge, always I fight on, through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall.
13 years with primary progressive MS, In that time I have earned my right to pilot a motorcycle, re earned my right to pilot a car 4 times, learn learned to Weld, took up chemistry as a hobby, learned to drive a tractor, and the list just goes on and on. MS is not a death sentence, It is just a small test of our intestinal fortitude.. I was blessed to have a career in the military before my diagnosis, for which my diagnosis quickly put an end to, however it did not end my life my life, it did not end my exploration, it did not end anything That I held dear. If anything if if anything it challenged me to expand my horizons and become that much more
I am crying.
Like a little boy.
Wow, amazing. This should win an award. Beautifully done! Thank you❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
This film is beautifully, delicately and powerfully made. I loved the presence of the horse, us msers all need our inner-galloper. I'm just about to buy my first wheelchair at the age of 39, and am normally quite reserved and stiff upper-lipped about stuff, but this film made me/helped me cry and cry. Strength to everyone on their journies x
Amazing how you can capture the 'inner' feelings on film! The dizziness, zoning out, heightened sensitivity etc etc - should definitley win an award!!
Fantastic. Not only visually beautiful, but as someone diagnosed with MS only 8 months ago it nails the process on the head. Made me well up with recognition. Brilliant.
Nicely done. I was Dx 15 years after being married and 20 years into a relationship so there wasn't much of a question of staying together...especially since I had no hesitation about staying with him after his UC diagnosis years before but many people are diagnosed earlier in life when they are at this point...your life is just starting and your feet are pulled out from under you. Very insightful-
Beautiful, but to real for me as well. My boyfriend had no intention of leaving me after diagnosis, we have grown to be a stronger couple.
+Tiana Cecere Thanks for your comment Tiana, have you checked our other videos on our MS reporters channel? ruclips.net/channel/UCWWC2mGM2mvHuLMz6ahwVig Tom
That's good but ..yeah there are people who can't live with ms people. My cousins bmy ant my uncle they abandoned me when i got diagnosed and felt so tired. But i have the support of my mom and my best friend ..but the best support for me is God
It was amazing I felt & knew every symptoms in this film, I cried not just because of that but also because of the words that were said, Enormous thank you to whom helped in making this film, I Just hope for the new MSers not to be afraid but to know that there is hope like that wight horse :")
Gallop is a well put together beautiful short film about MS which I have passed on to my facebook friends. I have had a heart transplant for 15.5 years and I have created many short animated films and an ipad book Space Cadet 56 Book 1 with a friend who broke his neck in the army. Best of luck with this worthy project :)
An incredible short! Beautifully put together! Great acting and the audio along with soundtrack was well thought out. So much happened in such a small amount of time but was done perfectly. This is why I love independent films and short films. This had a story. A hard-hitting story. And conveyed the sensitive impact of MS in such a way. Awesome work :D
Very moving.
This was so heartwarming, both sad and magical at the same time... Rarely do you watch a short film that can send you chills throughout your whole body while watching it. You guys all did an amazing job! Love the acting-it feels so weird to say "acting" because it felt so natural and real!
This is so moving. MS is a scunner but love really is the answer. Thank you for making this and cheers to shiftdotms for their site
Beautifully filmed, MRI scene all too familiar. Being a single man, this was a constant reminder that I have no intimate support, simply my dear friends and family who are incredibly
supportive. Well done shift.ms
made me emotional...i have MS and thankfully I have a very loving and supportive boyfriend who refused to leave me after my MS got worse.
He met you when you already had MS? Or met each other and when you got in a relationship ,you got diagnosed with the Ms?
And here comes the tears.... All to relatable. That fear of the future is something that never goes away... But I owe it to myself and my loved ones to keep fighting!
I was diagnosed 6 months into a new relationship. I can see me having a similar conversation if it was before/during the start of one. Brought a tear to my eye.
+Honnie Lonsdale Thanks for the comment Honnie. Have you checked out any of our Reporters channel videos yet? ruclips.net/p/PLm0sRroMtds3Cc_WouFjOK-XKO6aBgdSN Tom
Very well done!! And every depiction of the "hidden symptoms" was spot on.
This was a Beautifully done film. The actors were great really could feel the emotions coming through. Takes me back to when I was DX ten years ago.
You should win an award this was captured perfectly!
Yes I do truly Believe in magic!! It is what keeps it real.
Thanks
christie
I liked this. It's easy to walk away from any relationship with an MS diagnosis. As being one on the recipient side it's a frightening thing to experience and only creates doubt in your head beyond anything most will ever experience. This short conveys it well and focuses on retaining the one thing that can so easily be lost: Hope.
I cried so much just now. That was absolutely beautiful. I LOVED it! Congratulations! Marlo xx
This video is absolutely beautiful. I have shared it to all my friends and relatives! *teary*
Wow - absolutely incredible! Both the acting and the camera work do an impressive job of how MS feels. The MRI scene, the disbelief at dx, the hesitance at disclosing: all SO realistic. I had a number of rejections at disclosure, but sometimes acceptance and love come along when you least expect it...
Feeling very emotional having just watched this. It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I loved this short film It made me cry. I can relate to it knowing every day is different. The challenges that you experience one day is not there the next. You don't know when or if things are going to deteriorate so much, you're going to end up in a wheelchair, so in the meantime stay strong and just live your life. Great job.
Thank you pkc57 please come over and chat to us on www.shift.ms anytime we'd love to have you there!
Beautiful Story. Made me remember when I was diagnosed and the symptoms before diagnosis. And it reminded me of how I felt and what I did not want others to know of this chronic condition. Made me learn and it made me who I am today... I will share with the Global community that follows "Stu's Views and MS News/ MS Views and News" .. My thanks to Shift MS!!
I'm baffled as to how you squeezed a 90 minute cinematic masterpiece into 10 minutes. Amazing.
Saw this in the first MS Sessions in Prague. Such a beautiful video, made me cry. So well made, makes us believe in magic! ❤️
This video is so powerful and there is a Sigur Ros feeling!.. Love it
Really inspiring, best short I've seen in a long time.
Great video. It made me cry..
Left me wanting more, feature film material! High impact but short and sweet. Loving the use of lens flares throughout.
OMG!!! Such a powerful film that strikes me to my core!!! I'm glad that I had a box of tissues handy!
What an amazing, heart warming video. x very proud to do my bit for you guys. x
Thank you very much for this video, all too familiar. With this condition, what happens to each of us is out of our control. Watching this today was right timing for me.
Brought tears to my eyes wish it was so simple
beautiful short film. It was very emotional and you can connect with the characters through the acting, the music, and the visuals. the pacing was just spot on and I hope I can learn from you. Great job.
a beautiful film. made me cry
Love this video... I can totally relate to him telling the doctor he had something on his mouth
Just watched it again. It's just such a beautiful film.
Just listened to the recent OMS podcast & Mark Webb spoke of the shift.Ms films and so I came to watch.
Really well done - thank you thank you for creating 💗
wow nice short film, glad I watched it now, was diagnosed in 2018, could not sense it coming, though MS symptoms were on an off from 2011. I can relate a lot to this film, married and now a family of 4 (1 boy and 1 girl), but mobility is a biiiiig thing, have not stepped out from 2018, did go to hospital for yearly check ups and nothing much, COVID taught me a lot, actually helped me a lot on many things. Extended my family to 6, poor lab passed away around Christmas time (2023) My Chow Chow (6 months) keeps me occupied. But ya the question still hovers in my mind too - whats next....
Very well done, and directed, congratulations! It was a great short, felt like a feature film.
beautiful film and well made story
Very good video. Thank you so much for making it.
Beautiful short flim. I felt this exact same way!
Lovely sensitive film with bits directly relevent to me ( not globaly but directly ).
I am 59 male with SPMS and i have listened to a chap with an ology telling me i have MS spot on.
Again a lovely sensitive film thanks for making me aware .
Alastair
Got it spot on! What a film!
Excellent job. Loved it. Thumbs up.
This is brilliant. Can't believe I haven't seen it before 😥❤
they need to make this into a feature film. this is a beautiful piece of filmmaking.
please add subtitles, this is a very important movie and should be available to everyone
This was awesome and moving! Deserves to to on the Best Short Film List.
Beautiful filming and altogether very impactful film
Beautifully shot, and shows that you can still have that fairytale ending after all. I love this.
Beautiful!
Creative way to bring attention to an important topic. Disease is a part of the human condition and more filmmakers should explore it through their medium.
amazing. well done.
Amazing.. Thanks. :)
I had to pause for a few minutes after the scene with the diagnosis. It's like they took that scene right out of my memories.
Wonderful perspective on MS
Beautiful story
Brilliantly done
really lovely and well done. Bravo !
Wonderful!
great movie, great story
Lovely film. Well done those involved.
Absolutely beautiful
This beautiful!!!!!!!
Beautiful.
thank you filmriot. inspiring, inspirational.
beautifully crafted
Great short film.
So inspiring
So very moving, well done George (and team)! SGHx
Thanks Film Riot for sending me here. Great short.
Now there is a bit more peace in my heart :)
Fantastic short
Beautifully shot.
Awesome film! Filmriot thtank for the heads up! :)
Thank you Filmriot for bringing me here.
Very moving indeed. And I tend not to get moved by anything!
+Nyta Mann Glad you enjoyed Nyta - why not check out our reporters channel for more useful videos ruclips.net/channel/UCWWC2mGM2mvHuLMz6ahwVigvideos Tom
awesomely done. This is a film I did in a parallel universe! meaning it's the type of thing i would love doing.
A poignant moving film which brings home the impact of the diagnosis straight to one's heart.
So many of the folks I know are treated poorly by their partners, as if they chose to get MS and impose it. It's so very frustrating. We lift each other up every day. We are Living for a Cure!
Lost for words. Other than beautiful and thought provoking.
amazing
Love this video - I can really relate to it (it actually made me cry)
Exactly the same with me. I cried too. I wasn't expecting to but I guess watching a beautiful video, showing someone going through everything I had, hit the right buttons.
Made me emotional too mate. Anytime you need to speak, just do it.
Damn! Exactly like what happened to me. I thought to be messy, distracted. Then view, balance, numbness, headache. When doctor said, shit, don't knew what is ms. Maybe I still don't know. Well, good luck everybody and keep fighting
Awesome short that FilmRiot highlighted :)
Glad Filmriot sent me here, I really dug this short! Great job guys, the cinematography and editing were great. My only complaint was that some of the blacks were a little grayish and made the color grading look unfinished in parts but other than that it was really good!
i want part 2! :P
Very, very good.
Luv Holly Weston xxx
So pleased to hear all the comments, on the film, looking forwrad to hearing everyones thoughts.
Holly Weston (Hollyoaks : ) Hope this brings a better awareness and much needed funding required in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. xx
