Desc: Chomavision: a bipolar journey: Directed by Bruce Saunders. Chomavision is a feature documentary about an amazing Canadian artist, Bob Choma. His life has been a classic creative, chaotic story: an accomplished artist as a child, he became a graphic artist and businessman, a cartoonist, futurist, story teller - and generally sparky guy. A graduate of Victoria's psychiatric hospital, Bob has been challenged by classic bipolar mood swings, prison time for counterfeiting, suicide attempts, and alcohol problems through a colorful life. In his later years though he was well and rediscovered his creative groove as an outsider artist. His friend and fellow bipolar traveler, Bruce Saunders, was determined to tell his story. It has taken only 25 years. Hopefully, beyond revealing one man's life journey, this film provides insights into the connection between the bipolar condition and creativity, and how vital that connection is for some of us.
