Bipolar the Movie - Updates

Bipolar the Movie continues to make progress in its pre-production.  Key steps toward financing have been put into place and the challenging, but exciting process is in motion.  The financing of Bipolar is obviously a key factor as it drives the entire process from pre-production, to principal shooting, to post-production. Overall, we are very excited and pleased with the progress the film is making.  If you are interested in investing or have questions about the financing of Bipolar, please contact Matthew Nichols at mnicholswi@yahoo.com.  I have had the pleasure to be working with Terry Green, the writer and director of the feature film, 'No God No Master'.  Terry is a 20 year veteran in the film industry and is an outstanding resource for financing films.  He has his own blog which focuses on a variety of topics surrounding film, specifically the financing process.  I highly recommend visiting his site, www.filmnotes.net. 

Bipolar (2013)

A psychological, inspirational drama based on the true story of Matthew Nichols and his journey to manage his life with bipolar disorder.



36-year-old teacher and single-father, Garrett Brooks is enlightened by the discovery of a way to overcome the destructive tenacity of a mental illness, but not without cost.  His consistent struggles with his illness and inability to cope with overwhelming circumstances, Garrett’s once managed bipolar disorder resurfaces with debilitating stealth causing an even greater traumatic event, and new personal struggles.  He is faced with both the destructive power of a mental illness, and the foundational power of love and fatherhood with his son Jack Brooks, and friend and ex-wife Leah Brooks.  Through a personal window into the world of bipolar disorder, Garrett searches for answers to win the war, over the adversaries of mental illness, failure and suicide.  His relationships with Leah and Jack encourage and give new hope to his future as a father, friend and teacher.  Garrett's heartwarming and dramatic journey will bring viewers into the world of mental illness, and inspire others to ‘never’ give up hope.  Bipolar captures the interest of all as Garrett’s story enters the depths of the mind, the heart, and unconditional love.
