Manage episode 457834069 series 2363074
Adam Schomer, the acclaimed producer of HEAL and director of the newly released docuseries Selling Superman joins eHealth Radio and the Mental Health Channel. Adam’s docuseries explores themes that resonate deeply with our audience here on eHealth Radio—mental health, the cost of perfectionism, and redefining heroism.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels guest Adam Schomer discuss the following:
- What is Selling Superman about?
- This film is as much about comic book collecting as it is mental health and self-worth. Can you please explain how the series pulls back the curtain on how childhood dynamics and societal pressures shape anxiety, perfectionism, and self-perception.
- Explain the significance of Authentic Heroism that you are trying to convey. Specifically, how Darren, the main character, redefines heroic qualities by unmasking his emotions and bravely confronting his struggles.
- As a filmmaker how do you straddle Responsibility vs. Exploitation: The ethical challenges of storytelling when the subject’s vulnerability is at stake?
- Philosophical Insights: From Nietzsche’s “Übermensch” to Superman’s moral lessons, as a filmmaker and storyteller how do we redefine value and purpose in a modern world?
- The Pilgrimage of Healing: Why does a true transformation require bravery, perspective, and a willingness to confront the shadows within?
