2 Continents, 2 Countries
Had the opportunity to show the film at the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival in Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow as well as in Boston (well Arlington, Massachusetts) at the 1st ever Mad in America Film Festival. T'was a whirlwind voyage, but totally worth it!
Cool to experience the Toronto - Edinburgh connection in the Mad Studies community. Thanks is due to the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and the SMHAFF for providing funding, making the trip possible in the first place.
Fun, challenging, intriguing Q&A and panel discussion at all the screenings, these shots from the session in Edinburgh.
Nice little mention in one of the indie papers in Scotland, also got some shout-outs here and here and here.

Then a jet back to North America for the MIA Film Festival, met some cool people, forged some excellent connections. American audiences love their movies and laughed, gasped or otherwise reacted at all the right moments.
All access baby!
