More about You're Fine
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and concussions remain enigmatic in the medical world, despite affecting over 3 million individuals annually through various incidents like sports injuries, domestic violence, car crashes, or simple falls. These injuries, though internal, inflict severe consequences on individuals' lives, from exorbitant medical bills to feelings of isolation, misunderstanding, and depression due to misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting. Amplifying this issue, women and minorities face systemic inequities in healthcare, often dismissed as "anxious" or "sensitive" when seeking assistance. Drawing from personal experiences, the producers of this film share their encounters with medical gaslighting, seeking validation through others' stories. Through extensive outreach, they uncover a community of disregarded individuals grappling with the daily ramifications of head injuries. "You're Fine" aims to illuminate the real impact of medical discrimination, particularly concerning invisible injuries like TBIs and concussions.

"The Crux" WIP Screening
The Crux from the filmmaker Phil Hessler and his team at WZRD Media:
High stakes, fierce rivalries and dreams teetering on the edge - welcome to the captivating world of competitive climbing. The Crux is a heart-pounding, four-part docu-series that thrusts you into the Climbing World Cup circuit - the ultimate battleground for the world's elite climbers. Every year, they traverse the globe, competing in a relentless series of events, all leading to the grand finale: the World Championship. In this high-octane arena, rivalries ignite, legacies are forged, and only one can be crowned the world's best climber. The series will be releasing in Mid-July with National Geographic and we will be screening the first two episodes for feedback. We're genuinely interested in how you feel like the characters are resonating, if you understand the way the climbing competition works, and how you feel about the stakes and drama as it is laid out.
