Doom Island

2022•1h 37m•PG•Drama•Fantasy

Join Martin on a personal journey spanning 30 years through the unique perspectives afforded by autism and psychosis.

Doom Island is a personal perspective on Martin's life and autism and schizophrenia from the inside, in a language we can all understand: film. Viewers join Martin when he began film making using Rick Schmidt's book in 1988 and along the way see Martin experience love, grief, and try to figure out existential meaning through the unique perspectives afforded by autism and psychosis, and even join him on a journey to Switzerland to visit a mysterious nuclear physics research laboratory, where the God Particle was discovered. "One of my favorite indie works, beautifully made, original, and as perfectly personal as it gets." Rick Schmidt author of 'Feature Filmmaking at Used Car Prices: How to Write, Produce, Direct, Film, Edit and Promote a Feature-Length Film for Less Than $10,000.'
