the most amazing show i just thought you know if this could end your career it probably has already what was minute fifteen i'm done now i just you know i believe i live here i do my work here i was studio here and you know i gather you we met your daughters to reflect the talented young artists she's in the class and we just kind of happened you know just to kind of i were you i'd be like if someone called me up i go i want to wake up for at least a thousand but i think something's new when i want to go on and you know that anything or anything i didn't even see the film that won the oscar did you twilight moonlight moonlight you actually no you didn't see it i saw it the night before the oscars actually were i mean it was it was great i you know best  that's it for the preamble i hope we kind of outline what the show is about and we'll be right back after this important message hope you guys will be very favorite it because it's very creepy and i really love working with our directors and everyone else in it so i'm i'm very up yes i would say she's decided because we had written the original script first but in order to get something rolling and some traction with our company killer beam intertainment we said let's go out with the short of the net and get it out on the film festival circuit build interest show the proof in the putting of our ability to work together we have a team that's from the west coast on the east coast we come together on sat we shot net the short film and one day it was all about the pre production game the right cast together we came together  got the whole thing shot out and out on the circuit in let's see i guess it was only a couple months to get out on the circuit and we've been out at various film festivals collecting awards i actually brought our little then over here who plays katie our lead actress in the short film we've got different sort of characters coming into the feature film but in the barcelona film festival won best actress out of ninety five international film about the horror film festivals you know these this was a you know this was a general festival all different types of genres so this was really exciting to win but we want our harf them fans to love our film and we had the pleasure of working with refurbish the factory in the technology companies that run operate out there today so the ghost in the factory the evil spirit who learned a lot and you know revenge want to revenge on somebody uses the technology ther that i put together rather quickly because we don't have enough wall space to hang all of our festival winds but california likes horror films and so we have quite a few so you're getting the money from all this is very impressive yeah and we've screened another film mountain in spain yep spain really likes us this is our most recent accolade we've just actually we were selected this past week and i just got word today latest news is we're finalist a paranormal short film that we're going to be filming in the next month i've been casting right now looking for the father to our lead role sorry i had the bench and then we're going to talk about the net feature but we've already covered the future so in any case the bench is it's paranormal and we're shooting that very low budget up in north jersey and that's going to take place next month we're going to add this we have a whole suite of different  the typical teenage girl dealing with issues of self esteem and depression she spends her spare time on the internet blog posting videos no one ever reads or watches she's also relentlessly harassed by story starts when gabby receives a gift from her sister who works at a second and clothing store it's an old it's scar has an unusual effect on assessing her personality causing her dark visions and frightening nightmares or will it be too late the characters in it are real people which i believe the audience will identify and combining today's technology with social commentary and terror will be healed too fast for a film audiences from around the world have been involved in video production and filmmaking but it's only been provoked twenty years making horus shorts g's one of the shorts is knit which has recently played in many festivals both national and international and has been nominated and won some awards but now it's time to take it gotcha all dark military we finished about five days ago at twelve thirty in the morning and then made myself my editor steve kerr you know we're right back up at six in the morning to go to war do our day job because we can't survive on this in this area so you gotta still ah work when you're an indie filmmaker you know you need to work extra hard to make sure your film doesn't has new canucks you can't do as well we get to that part of the movie is this kind of breeze by like you know in hopes of will still get that good big distribution deal anyway does not work like that the distribution companies are not going to tolerate something like that they're not you're not going to recruit your money you probably still won't recoup all your money but but  corners yes yes in the top it all off it's like it's you like you're expecting anyway to be funded by some major company they got those you've got to knock it out of the ballpark every time and you can't be making a movie it's like hey i'm suppressing my friends my family  people to met from a few different websites you know made him watch my team watches it could make i mean also you've seen a lot of scenes that's the big thing is like in my position i get to see what's going on in the world and where the is and i was like one thing i feel like a lot of people in my area and i don't hear the philly they're kind of trying to please their locals of trying to establish and i don't want to say i don't care that write you back and say why did you accept my film and i'm like you want to face fine you're like and you've got to watch your wording because you actually actually i give him some words times i might like you know and then you get some of the the people that you should be in the business at all if you don't have to take skin you've got to be right you mean people come in you could do something for all these filmmakers and the one film you don't take because they skipped out on something or maybe th and get get praise while these actors that come in don't realize because maybe they've not been to a bigger set that this film the way they are doing it is completely wrong and they were today when they're looking around at the like most unseen to o could do i could do that go down i was on with any year you know this actor is now a director and he's casting people in this virus is going on and on and you don't realize that like you know like can't tell you about it though you know it's like it's like it's like i'm very close i've been around a lot of almost and i don't like to talk about your in the grassroots basically yeah yeah yeah i don't almost you know i was just told it happens absolutely so when you're new it's kind of all right because when i'm even those projects i'm talking about it's not too bad because of your brand new but you know after a while you did this it yourself so i'm in a point with the ones like after director producer i'm like  one sharma is here with me to talk about his new job with nami the national association for the mentally ill and i'm really proud because for once doing so well that he has a job and i'm also really proud because he's become so successful he has been through such a roller coaster in his young life and i'm just going to let him tell you about it so we're all one can you tell us some of the things that brought you here today absolutely thanks so much for having me dr simon my pleasure so currently i'm a speaker for namita nationalized mental illness and more specifically the e t s and then the sounds program and what we do is we basically go to middle schools and high schools and we try to talk to the kids about mental health w to get help and basically end the stigma around mental illness and how i got the job was like you says very interesting story i was in medical school briefly over at drexel and then in the fall of two thousand and eleven i was put on antidepressants my bipolar type one was on diagnosed at the time and then antidepressants while the government of the depression they spun me to an even higher manic state and what ended up happening was i barely slept for like a month straight very very reckless no sleep whatsoever went into a completely psychotic episode first i opened my own neck up to try and dissect it then i went out and got a firearm and attempted to rob my drug dealer and ended up getting locked period in my life gained a lot of weight i was very depressed i was very anxious about what was going to happen with the case finally a year and a half my lawyer was fighting the case and he said basically you have an option here you can take this deal for twenty three months in county jail well i would have to twenty three months i would have the max or you can take it to trial and if you lose their your you would face up to ten years in prison so i want to interrupt you just short you have been because you know ro was my patient but the family came to me because i'm a forensic psychiatrist and i've spoken here before about the book that i wrote that came out last year which is forensic psychiatry of lawyers guide and today is not my chance to promote promote my but every lawyer and judge should know different any case involving a mentally ill defendant there is a way to utilize the legal just the legal system the criminal justice system to help that defendant be considered differently from a defendant who understands the full consequences of his or her actions and in this case that never happened and rowe hands attorney didn't know any of this didn't understand it even though even though when he was picked up by the police everybody understood that he was having a psychotic episode even the guy that he tried to rob yeah what happened right after the police came where did you go system chose to ignore the fact that this whole thing happened and so did his medical school chose to ignore the fact that this young man who was you know a very intelligent person and a medical of mental illness so now i'm you know you just touched on it to another point i want to bring up that i was expelled from medical school and these are you know professional these are all doctors and i felt they didn't take into consideration and underlying health issue so i felt that was really unfair i just want to put that out for anybody else who has a situation to have more compassion for people who are mentally ill because it like you said you're not thinking you know psychotic and it's actually not just compassion there's actually a law it's called the americans with disabilities act right that prohibits people that have a medical problem from being discriminated against so it's actually illegal but for some reason psychiatric disorders are not considered medical problems even though this is what i teach my medical student when i go to teach the medical students i say i say this i say i'm going to protect us pretend you are sure you can you live without a hand yes can you would say that you know what if you stopped one hundred people on the street they would probably answer the same way but it's the only thing that the whole world seems to think your brain who cares but important and this is what we teach the students because you can't see it doesn't make it any less real there's the brain chemistry going on there otherwise medication would be ineffective right right so go ahead i don't hijack the notes ok not that i just want to get that out because i think it's so important yes so where i was that was the court had offered me three to five years at first which i turned down because i get a medical student doing time upstate is not you know an ideal situation so after being entered in the mental health court that's take in the deal for twenty three months and then followed by ten years probation i got out in april of two thousand and fifteen you know the hardest a very difficult period of my life but i'm just so glad i made it ended up getting this amazing job with nami which i love to do i love going to the schools and sp story and it's just a reason i'm so passionate is this is a program i wish i had when i was young and maybe you know this we would have to go down this road in the first place but definitely ended in a very positive note so what's your favorite part about speaking to the kids  it's actually funny you say that i just i ran into a parent of a recent workshop a parent of one of the students we spoke with and she comes up to her mom and says you know mom i think i have depression and it just means that just shows that this program can work people are getting results from and it's just an amazing program so awesome yeah so we still do have a few more minutes i know that you brought this flyer up that an upcoming strive for mental health awareness can you talk about that a little bit right you know we have a charity well coming up any further question yeah i'm curious what you think about it i mean i kind of know but if we can find something positive to say to young people who need to be on medication yeah actually you know i it's tough for me to even say because i argue with my current psychologist a lot about medication and i feel i feel part of it i don't need it and i can't be promoting that to kids who because there are cases where you definitely need medication i felt like i don't but again i can't play be my which again i you know i try and fight it but i'm on probation so legally i do have to take my medication but not all of them are bad i guess that's the message i would leave to the kids not all of them are bad and if you take it there's no shame in that either so  need i think that's really is that would that be the take home message that there's no shame in that that's a big message right is that there's no shame in having to take medication there's no shame in having to get help either i was recently in the hospital as a three zero two and there's no there's no shame in that either you know g to hell so we're in new jersey but a three zero two is a civil commitment where you're put into the hospital against your will because you might be a danger to yourself or others are homeless in pennsylvania but you know i think that that anyway so yes i guess the improvisation let's do a little bit improv here church lady and dr kevin and adam you know it's improv is always fun people hear the word and probably get scared to death it's not about that it's about living in the moment the rules and one of the basic rules of improvisation is to say yes then in the beginning that's a that's a mental state of mind it becomes a mindset which means is yes i'm listening to you and i'm going to build on your idea i'm not to deny that that gives me up in the work office so go work off one another so you don't have been the my acting class before and we do this exercise called yes and and he show you very

respect that you get from me yes and that's why i live in a poor house yes and maybe if you get your wife to work yes and she's been working for years and she's a working something like i'm a doctor
