April 29 I had the distinct pleasure of once again presenting the groundbreaking @hereisbetterdoc at @bedfordplayhouse for their Let’s Talk series. 🎞️Following the film friend & Emmy Award winning filmmaker/producer/writer Sian Edwards-Beal along with Laurie Ciavardini & Sarah Jane Casey of Endeavor Farm joined me for a profound talkback.I look forward to another soon! Thank you!!! ♥️ Thank you Dan Friedman & Marie Louise Scanlan from the Playhouse for welcoming us in with such warmth! 🥂 Thank you to the awesome Stephanie Schwartz of the HERE. IS. BETTER. team for always helping to facilitate our screenings & for the work the HIB non-profit does on behalf of the film itself & for the veteran community. 🙌 This is the 3rd screening Hit House Film had the privilege of presenting. Veteran or civilian, the film is a deeply hopeful exploration of treatment for those who suffer from the complications of PTSD. Vital & affirming, I’ll continue to share as often as possible. 🙏 As our military (both veteran & active duty) confronts a uniquely challenging time in this current chapter of American history, it’s even more important to ensure the film reaches those populations & that we as civilians connect with our service members to offer support where we can. 🇺🇸 To learn more about HIB (501c3), the work & support they provide on behalf of the film & veteran community visit: / If you or your organization is interested in presenting a screening, reach out to me directly. To learn more about the incredible mission of Endeavor Farm (501c3) & the range of equine programs they offer & specifically the veterans program established by Laurie Ciavardini visit: endeavorth.org It takes a village. 💪💫💥#documentary #veterans #ptsd #hope

Get @reshare_app • @bedfordplayhouse HERE. IS. BETTER. comes to the Playhouse for an evening spotlighting resilience, healing, and the realities of PTSD. This powerful and hopeful documentary follows four veterans—each with different backgrounds and service experiences—as they undergo evidence-based trauma therapies. Their stories include former presidential candidate Jason Kander, a Vietnam Veteran confronting decades-old memories, and women Veterans whose experiences are too often overlooked. With unprecedented access to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the film offers a rare look at both struggle and progress within America’s mental health crisis. #ptsd #mentalhealth #veteran #filmscreening 🎞️ @hereisbetterdoc A panel discussion led by @shaneblyk of @hithousefilm will follow the screening.
