Peter Lee's notes from the field

Ahn, Angela,


Eleven-year-old Peter Lee has one goal in life: to become a paleontologist. Okay, maybe two: to get his genius kid-sister, L. B., to leave him alone. But his summer falls apart when his real-life dinosaur expedition turns out to be a bust and he watches his dreams go up in a cloud of asthma-inducing dust. Even worse, his grandmother, Hammy, is sick, and no one will talk to Peter or L. B. about it. Perhaps his days as a scientist aren't quite behind him yet. Armed with notebooks and pens, Peter puts his observational and experimental skills to the test to see what he can do for Hammy.

Drunk on too much life


In a world where normal is crazy, this film uncovers how madness makes us more fully human. The number of adults and children who struggle with their mental health has skyrocketed over the past thirty years in spite of the fact that the spending on pharmaceutical medications has increased 80 fold. Five out of six young adults do not have access to the mental health services they need. Clearly there is a problem here. This film tells a different story -one that embraces transformative and holistic mental health, autonomy and resilience. Drunk on Too Much Life (DOTML) is a poetic and intimate journey of resilience and discovery. It follows the filmmaker's daughter Corrina from grey, institutional hallways of locked-down psych wards, countless medications, and diagnostic labels into expansive worlds of colour, music, poetry, community, connection and greater meaning. On their journey, the family learns that madness has meaning that goes far beyond brain chemistry. Recovery is not a straight path to being cured but a crooked and bumpy journey and series of small awakenings. "Must See selection." - Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television
