Submarine Deluxe & History Films Presents INSIDE THE MIND OF LEONARDO IN 3D

The inspiring world of Leonardo da Vinci is brought to life by acclaimed BAFTA award-winning actor Peter Capaldi (DOCTOR WHO, IN THE LOOP) in a unique dramatized documentary directed by Julian Jones and produced by History Films.

INSIDE THE MIND OF LEONARDO is based on the artist's private journals dating from the Italian Renaissance. With more than 6,000 pages of handwritten notes and drawings, da Vinci's private journals are the most comprehensive documents that chronicle the work of the world's most renowned inventor, philosopher, painter, and genius. Never before has access been granted to capture these works in 3D HD format.  Using this precious collection of writings and drawings to recount da Vinci's story in his own words, the film re-creates the mindscape and ideas of mankind's greatest polymath.   In a powerful haunting performance, actor Peter Capaldi portrays Leonardo, dramatically narrating passages and monologues from his journals. Capaldi captures the passion of Leonardo's genius, his understand of the workings of the natural world, his insights on art and life and his inner fears and torments. From the epic to the ordinary, INSIDE THE MIND OF LEONARDO explores how Leonardo experienced the world around him.  In turn, the film changes the way we see the world today.  Following a biographical narrative, the feature captures the artist's birth as a bastard peasant, his thwarted ambitions, hurt, anger, and sexual desire as documented within his diaries, but also the mundane evernts everyday life: his shopping lists, health tips, and bawdy jokes.

Submarine Deluxe will release the film in New York on December 5thwith a nationwide theatrical rollout to follow.

REMOTE AREA MEDICAL A FILM BY JEFF REICHERT & FARIHAH ZAMAN OPENS NY NOVEMBER 28TH OPENS NATIONWIDE DECEMBER 5TH

"Welcome to America – number 37 in the World Health Organization’s country rankings! I am a voice for more than half a million patients that REMOTE AREA MEDICAL®, (RAM®), has treated free of charge in 723 mobile medical clinics during the last 28 years. I know what it is like to be poor and without help. I am one voice of the millions of people who are not a part of our healthcare system. They have been left behind and forgotten. I speak for them today."- Stan Brock

Remote Area Medical is a non-profit, volunteer medical relief corps that provides free health care services and technical and educational assistance to people in remote areas of the United States, and around the world.  I wanted to see if you'd be interested in speaking with the organization's founder, Stan Brock.

   

Born in Lancashire, England, Stan is best known for his years as the co-host for NBC's "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" from 1963-1971.  Starting in 1985 RAM has mobilized over 80,000 volunteers and healthcare professionals to deliver over $75 million worth of free quality medical procedures and services.  Stan had addressed The United States Congress on the needs of providing free quality healthcare to those who cannot afford it nor have direct access.  Stanhas received numerous accolades for his work, including the prestigious Inamori Ethics Prize for Humanitarian Leaders in 2010 and CNN's Hero Award in 2012

This is really a film about people, not policy. 

Focusing on a single three-day clinic held in the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, REMOTE AREA MEDICAL affords us an insider's perspective on the ebb and flow of the event - from the tense 3:30 a.m. ticket distribution that determines who gets seen to the routine check-ups that take dramatic turns for the worse, to the risky means to which some patients resort for pain relief.  We meet a doctor who also drives an 18-wheeler, a denture maker who moonlights as a jeweler, and the organization's founder, Stan, who first imagined Remote Area Medical while living as a cowboy in the Amazon rainforest, hundreds of miles from the nearest doctor.
