Hemispheres, The Movie
Longview Media Creations,
Inc. in conjunction with Aspect Studios, is filming a
feature-length documentary exploring the current state of Cerebral
Palsy (CP). The film will investigate cutting-edge cures and forward
thinking about the affliction, through interviews with interesting
families and individuals with CP as well as the research physicians
and initiators of the research who have extensive knowledge about
the birth defect. The documentary will chronicle progress in cures
from botox to stem cells and even the future notion of "Body
Hacking".
In the spirit that
anything can be achieved, the film will chronicle the trials,
tribulations and successes of Adele Schneidereit, a woman with CP,
who declared she will learn to fly with the goal of flying around
the world. The film will follow her first flights,
obtaining a Medical as required by the FAA and obtaining the ratings
necessary for the flight and gaining the experience required for the
flight around the world in June 2009.
The film will also explore
the current state of people living with CP and how the culture
presently helps or hinders those lives. While 78% of those afflicted
with CP are unemployed and hidden from public view, the film will
interview others who have excelled in spite of CP. We will meet Dr.
Bob, the only American with CP to have earned two Doctorates, and
Duncan Wyeth, a winner of two medals in the Paralympics. We will
also meet the beautiful Emily Dolenz, the daughter of Monkees Micky
Dolenz.
Inspire the World
Foundation, the prime sponsor of the
film, is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising global
awareness and finding a cure for Cerebral Palsy. Excess profits from
the movie shall go toward research and development of cures for
Cerebral Palsy.
Raising awareness and
money for research to find a cure for CP is urgent. Other non-profit
organizations claim that CP is incurable, however, we respectfully
disagree. The cures for Cerebral Palsy exist they just haven't been
found yet. We believe the cure will soon be discovered through the
rapidly advancing technology of today's world.
The movie is scheduled for
release in Autumn 2009. |
