BICRS: Kent Bassett - “This Might Hurt” – A Film About Being Freed from Pain

Director Kent Bassett is an Emmy-nominated editor and filmmaker from Arizona. He’s edited a number of feature documentaries that have premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, AFI Docs, Doc NYC, and the PBS World Channel. His most recent film as editor is Not Going Quietly (Tribeca), about 32-year-old father, Ady Barkan, who after being diagnosed with ALS travels the country to fight for universal health care. Much of the drive to make This Might Hurt came from Kent’s own struggle with debilitating arm pain as a 22-year-old. Unable to type on a computer or even turn a doorknob, he had to drop out of college. Although he saw several doctors and tried physical therapy, strength training, even narcotics—the pain grew steadily worse. It wasn’t until he had an insight into the role of stress and emotions that he was able to completely recover.
