The Invisible Dog: a feature documentary film exploring the challenges of creative people who live with existential depression. We talk with gifted creatives to get their thoughts on usefulness, culture, isolation, labels, high sensitivity, creativity, and emotional management. We’ll also hear from people who have lost loved ones from ongoing struggles with, what Churchill called, “The Black Dog.” We’ll explore studies, literature, and art on the topic, interviewing artists, therapists, scientists, and the like to examine cultural, chemical and genetic factors and what might aid the ‘development potential’ (Dabrowski’s theory) in these individuals to fulfill their potential.
Scheduled for production in 2017
