  1. What an insightful interesting film - thank you. I myself am not happy unless I am creating.

  2. Painting the Mind was absolutely superb. I work in factual and it was a joy to see such a high-quality film. A welcome return to blue-chip film-making. Such films are this have been sadly missed.

  3. my god. im greatly overwhelmed after watching "Painting the mind",ihave my very own obsessive art behaviour,i have not,as far as i know, had any brain damage! but i create create create. mostly weird faces and people..with strange features..some works dont get finished, cause im so eger to find the next expression or person. its funny the last 2 weeks before watching this programme, i have felt even more creative than usual... and i wonderd to my self..what is it? where does it come from? i have such drive for it..i would paint/create 24 hours a day but i have family commitments and sleep! i have strange moods, its not to easy to get a balance with things. reality can somtimes be daunting. after watching these people i feel i have connected with somthing that i never thought possibile...i will find my self this week and next thinking of them, and creating as usual! lisa.
