Swiss American Films and VoiceAmericaTM Partner to Distribute Feature Film "Human Like You - A Bipolar Odyssey" Worldwide Today
Feature Length Independent Film on Mental Illness Recovery to Be Distributed Worldwide via patented BoomBoxRadioTM Technology.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 16, 2009 -- Independent Film Production and Distribution company, Swiss American Films, LLC and VoiceAmerica TM, a subsidiary of Modavox Inc. (MDVX.OB) today announced a partnership agreement to distribute "Human Like You - A Bipolar Odyssey" via Modavox's patented end to end distribution network.
"Mental illness is the most prevalent, pressing medical issue that our country is currently facing. This film is my part to bring to the attention of the average American that we, those with mental illness, are as human as anyone else and deserve to be treated as such and given full access to the best our mental health care system and overall society has to offer," stated Neal David Sutz, writer, director and producer.
"We chose Thanksgiving time to distribute Human Like You (http://bipolarfilm.com) because it's a time family and friends of those suffering from mental illness are likely to be together. As someone whose struggle with bipolar disorder cost me most of my relationships with my family, the more families we can help with this message of hope and recovery, the better off we'll be as a country. VoiceAmerica's distribution network will allow us to reach the most people, especially those suffering from mental illness who might not be able to get out to a theater."
Sutz stated, "Organizations like The Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Fund are leading the way to finding the cause and then the cure for this illness that counts among its numbers over seven million men, women and children in our country alone, as well as 47 million individuals with other mental illnesses in this country alone. I made this film as an accurate representation of a mentally ill man, not as the all-too-often-shown caricature of a mentally ill person as the media and the entertainment world most often portray."
Sutz's work in mental health advocacy has been featured on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer, National Fox News, The Howard Stern Show and in over 500 print and online news publications.
In addition to its worldwide live distribution "Human Like You - A Bipolar Odyssey" just finished a very successful week-long run at 13 Goodrich Quality Theaters locations throughout the mid-west. The film, "Human Like You - A Bipolar Odyssey" and accompanying documentary film and best-selling recovery book will be available for purchase at a special bundled rate starting today and running through the weekend following Thanksgiving. Swiss American Films, LLC is also making "Human Like You - A Bipolar Odyssey" available for national theatrical runs immediately through the end of 2009.
