Of Two Minds (2012)
From the creative team of WORDPLAY, IOUSA, SUPERHEROES and THESE AMAZING SHADOWS comes a new documentary about the more than five million Americans living, struggling and triumphing with bipolar disorder today.  OF TWO MINDS takes an intimate look at the daily issues faced by three extraordinary people over the course of three years.  Both painful and painfully funny, these stories help shine a light into one of society's final closets...the stigma of mental illness.  The film serves as a common bond for an issue that affects our parents and children, our lovers and friends...and ourselves.

    A division.
    A split personality, a personality of two entities. A division. Is that what bipolar is? Is bipolar a community treatment device or a locked in mental component to be treated on ER Wards? This movie takes the viewer into the lives of four individuals with a diagnosed serious mental illness. Each individual is unique. Their stories are unique and there is no dialogue between the four key players. Instead it is like each individual shares their own narrative with the camera in their own individualized fashion. This design of editing makes the parts of the whole a very structured whole. It is like tall skyscrapers reaching for the skies. The identities of each individual did come out and their unique identities versus the DSM label identities each did fall into an excellence. This movie is about recovery and exceeding societal expectations. It puts bipolar into a new light, one of humanity versus the sick role.
