Going to make a strong, second run at bringing the film Bipolar to fruition. The latest version of the screenplay was finished on June 4th, my son's birthday. Ironic and inspiring at the same time. Five or six years ago, the concept was a good idea, but all of the necessary pieces to make it work may not have been in place at the right time. I truly believe that they are now. I won't go as far as to say that planets are aligning, but with recent film connections and networking, there are some very concrete components and people who can make it a reality. I'll look to this entry to be the start of the process and watching the development, regardless of its pace...it will be exciting. A week ago Saturday, I sent out a letter of request and interest, to a Hollywood actress whose sister has bipolar disorder. The response was saddening, but understandable upon receipt. Her spokesperson politely explained that due to the overwhelming number of requests for her speak publicly and be a part of related projects, it was just not a possibility. They respectfully declined for her and wished me luck in my endeavor. Dr. Suess was rejected 27-times before someone found value in his first book. I'm no Dr. Suess...I get that. It simply inspires me. I have to believe that there is someone, some group of people, some entity that will see value in this project and what it offers in its story of inspiration...and that it will come to fruition...very soon.
