Award-winning Film Launches Mental Health Initiative Alongside Spyral Documentary

AUSTIN, Texas - EntSun -- An award-winning film team is launching a groundbreaking mental health initiative alongside the release of their documentary SPYRAL. This initiative aims to enhance mental health awareness by offering attendees of in-person screenings, free access to mental health support directly following the film. The film screening will take place on October 23, 2024, from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM at the Galaxy Theatres Austin, 6700 Middle Fishville Road, Austin, Texas 78752.

Directed by two-time Oscar winner Bill Guttentag, produced by Austin local Jennifer Hutchins and narrated by actress Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), SPYRAL chronicles an Austin based family's thirteen-year journey through bipolar disorder using raw home videos, diaries, and social media posts. The documentary serves as a powerful tool to spark conversations about mental health and reduce stigma.

The film team has secured funding with Legacy Lifeline Foundation, a nonprofit organization partnering with All Entertainment Business (AEB) to provide audience members with immediate access to mental health support following each private screening of an approved film. This pilot program offers eligible attendees paid-for sessions with leading digital mental health providers across the USA.
