New Title - Great Progression

Friday night, July 14 was a great night of developments and progression for our upcoming film. It was determined with unanimous approval that the new title will be "Bipolar". It's telling, direct, edgy, and essentially is the basis of the film. The synopsis found at www.polaritymediaproductions.com is based upon Matthew Nichols' life with bipolar disorder and will take a never-before-seen, look at a person diagnosed with bipolar disorder and it's effects on the individual and the relationships that surround them.

Friday also saw the photo shoot with Producers Drew Maxwell and Dan Kattman for the film's new and preliminary concept poster, which will be released in the next few weeks. Maxwell will do the final development of the poster and follow up the quality posters he has already designed. "I was really happy with the work Drew Foerster, www.kaboomfilms.com had done for the original Silent Lucidity poster. "Drew is a great guy and absolutely has his heart and soul in the film industry - as one's should be, just as it is with Dan and Drew (Maxwell). I know Drew (Maxwell) will do an unbelievable job with this poster as he has with all his other posters". Nichols said it would be a short while until the name change is complete as the original working title "Silent Lucidity" is changed. The rock band Queensryche, which owns the rights to the title and song, initially cleared us for use of the song for the soundtrack, but were reluctant and decided not to release the title for use as the film's title. "I loved the words and its fit for the film's subject, but it didn't feel right not to have the title of the film the same as the title track. Queensryche did incredible things for the song and it has brought them tremendous success. I'm grateful they were at least open to discussion for its possibilities. I appreciated that. I am extremely excited about the new title, which was suggested by Drew and it felt perfect right away".

Producers Katmann and Maxwell just completed post-production of their latest project Guardians. Information and details on the film can be found at their website, www.lightningrodstudios.com.

Final fundraising for the film is currently taking place and will come from a number of sources including, but not limited to private investors, mental health associations, and hospitals. Investment opportunities are available for Bipolar the Movie and serious inquiries can contact Matthew Nichols at Polarity Media Productions at the above mentioned website, for questions and information. Interest in the project continues to be very strong and individual investors, in addition to private groups, are also showing a significant interest in the film.

More exciting things to come. Stay tuned!
