The Cost of Creativity

In The Cost of Creativity, director and producer Jon Biddle takes you inside bipolar disorder thus stripping away all labels and giving you the truth. Coming out as a bipolar artist, a journey of courage and crisis unfolds using archival footage, interviews, and photographs. People living with this misunderstood disorder work tirelessly to hide the condition for fear of losing their jobs, families, and lives. The Cost of Creativity brings those stigmatized individuals out of the shadows and onto the screen. One man’s struggle becomes the story of many as we an innocent youth devolve into the chaos of mania, and ultimately recover with the help of friends and family who never stopped believing in him.
