AS I SAW IT
Investor Pitch Deck
 WHAT Life Doesn't End After the
Diagnosis
CONCERN As I Saw It is a story that will allow those living with
mental health to share their story in a positive light.

ARE WE This series will be a wonderful opportunity for people

to better understand that a mental health diagnosis
does not define a person or their gifts.

SOLVING?
WHY DOES
IT MATTER
TO US?
It is close to our hearts
An important theme throughout this documentary will
be the incredible courage that it takes to live with a
mental health diagnosis and to expose oneself
vulnerably to help others understand the complexities
of mental health. The journey it takes to live with
mental health can be one of the most confounding and
strengthening and I believe can inspire acceptance and
hope.
HOW WE
CAN HELP
It just means that your brain works
differently.
Six new friends, each living with their own diagnosis,
unite. Join them on an adventure of travel, mindfulness
and mental health, as they rediscover who they are
beyond their challenges.
 6
People together will unravel the story of
what that individual has been through in
their mental health journey, what it feels
like to live with the condition, and themes
that connect those that don’t live with the
illness.
 Currently there are

1 IN 5
Canadians that will experience a
mental health problem or illness.

 TRAVEL IS IMPORTANT TO US!

MIND BODY SOUL

The intimate interviews will
be done at night, in a
campfire setting on a beach.
Each episode will begin with
the interview of the
highlighted character and
parallel between the travel
component, deepening the
viewers understanding of
the individual.
They will explore a new
region within the province,
and the character being
highlighted
will be focused on within that
region. Each episode will
have an element of
adventure, mindfulness
activity and mental health
experts.
Through travel we are able
to let out true selves shine.
Being out of your
environment in
memorable experiences is a
way of showing
vulnerability. Before
connecting with the
diagnosis, I want people to
connect with the people on a
true journey of self discovery
and acceptance. It’s okay to
be who you are regardless of
a label that has been
attached to you.

At the end of each episode there will be a final confessional where the highlighted
character reveals their diagnosis, and how much the trip and meeting these people has
impacted them..
