Brainstorms
On October 9th, 2022 Brainstorms made its world premiere at the Soho International Film Festival in New York City! It will be featured at the GI Film Fest on May 15-20 in San Diego. Please check back for more details as they become available.
Filmed and produced in 2021, Brainstorms is an experiential short film that gives the audience a glimpse of what it is like to live with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The film, based off the book Turn the Lights On! by Chrisanne Gordon, MD and written and directed by Julie Pacino of Tiny Apples, follows a veteran who receives a concussive blast during a tour of duty and then assimilates back into civilian life with his new invisible injury.
We are thrilled to see Brainstorms expanding its reach worldwide, bringing awareness and education on the issue of TBI and thereby influencing healing for our brothers and sisters.
