THE CAREGIVERS DOCUMENTARY HAS MADE IT TO PITCH FEST 2013! Documenting the caregivers of our wounded. I am grateful to announce that The Caregivers (Produced by Stephanie and Rodger Howard of Core Issue Productions, I am Consulting Producer) has just been accepted to premier as one out of only twelve documentary trailers from around the country at Pitch Fest - a screening for industry executives as a part of WestDoc 2013. In The Caregivers, loved ones take over the task of caring for their sons, daughters, husbands, fathers during their recovery from their wounds of war both physically, and psychologically. We observe their new normal, and the adjustments and sacrifices made by those who become, the caregivers. Out of sight, out of mind. “The Caregivers” is the first documentary to address the emotional challenges faced by those who care for their loved ones wounded in the war of Iraq and Afghanistan. It is about men who become children and children who become parents. Lives turned inside out, and a lens that faces in on an unspoken truth. That war conquers lives that must be rebuilt upon coming home. The goal is to build awareness of what it is like to care for our wounded illuminating the new normal they face and celebrating the unsung heroes of war.
