Jason Bee is a Texas filmmaker who also happens to have bipolar disorder. Luckily for us, he’s decided to try and make a movie about bipolar disorder, and share with the world what it’s like to live with this mental health concern.
“It’s the story of a recently divorced man trying to be a good father to his young son, but becomes consumed by a mysterious new woman and his own bipolar disorder,” Jason tells me.
“I’m trying to use this blessing/curse that has had its turn at haunting me for a long period of my life as a way to reach others in their journey… to let them know they’re not alone. It’s no biopic, but it is based on my experiences with the disease.”
He’s trying to raise $7,800 for the movie’s initial production. It sounds like a good cause, so I wanted to share it with you.
