518    Originally produced by Ken Paul Rosenthal in 2013. 
520    Mad dance is a trilogy of provocative and beautiful short 
       films that re-envision the way we think, speak and feel 
       about mental distress and wellness in today's chaotic 
       world. These transformative films offer new maps for 
       navigating madness with insight, healing and hope. The 
       trilogy includes the following films: Crooked beauty is an
       internationally acclaimed poetic documentary that 
       chronicles artist-activist Jacks McNamara's transformative
       journey from psych ward inpatient to pioneering mental 
       health advocacy. It is an intimate portrait of her intense
       personal quest to live with courage and dignity, and a 
       powerful critique of standard psychiatric treatments. 
       Poignant testimonials connect the fissures and fault lines
       of human nature to the unstable topography and mercurial 
       weather patterns of the San Francisco Bay Area. In light, 
       in! is a haunting, visual essay about the awkward and 
       angry junctures where our culture struggles to manage its 
       emotional distress. Images recycled from 1950's-era 
       educational films are accompanied by original compositions
       by world-renowned cellist, Zoe Keating. For shadows is a 
       contemplative, multi-layered memoir that explores the 
       process of coming to terms with one's shadow while 
       unraveling the tangled roots of self-harm. The home movies
       of a child's formative years and an interior landscape of 
       traumatic domestic memories are excavated and re-
       constructed alongside sound clips from archival mental 
       hygiene films. "At once extremely personal and yet 
       exquisitely accessible, Ken Paul Rosenthal's Mad dance 
       mental health film trilogy is that rare cinematic feat 
       that combines ineffably compelling artistry, poetics, and 
       visual beauty with compassion, daring, and a heartfelt 
       sense of purpose - all in the service of shining light 
       upon deep (and dark) psychological truths." -Alan Berliner,
       Filmmaker, The family album and First cousin once removed 
       "The mad dance trilogy captures the intensity of human 
       suffering, enlightening the pain of madness that is often 
       cast to the shadows, and takes us through a journey of 
       profoundly moving images that show the power and 
       resiliency of the human spirit." - Dina Tyler, coordinator
       of peer and family support services, PREP Alameda County. 
       "A soulful and thought-provoking springboard for classroom
       discussions, challenging art and psychology students to 
       creatively expand the way we navigate the dark and light 
       in our lives." - Paige Greason, PhD, Clinical Director, 
       Counseling Services, University of North Carolina "These 
       groundbreaking films offers new language for how we 
       conceptualize and discuss the culture, power and politics 
       of psychological suffering." - Heather Macdonald, Psy. D. ,
       Assistant Professor of Psychology, Lesley University "A 
       deeply humane, must-see experience for anyone entrusted to
       provide mental health care to other people and all who 
       care about relieving mental anguish and distress." - Joe 
       Behen, PhD, Director Counseling, Health and Disability 
       Services, School of Art Institute of Chicago.
