In his hit one-man show, Sarasota actor and storyteller Scott Ehrenpreis told his humorous yet profound story of living with mental illness. And now the show has made it to the big screen. Clowns Like Me reveals the fascinating, heartbreaking, ultimately uplifting true story of Scott’s personal journey as he struggles against OCD, bipolar disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, social anxiety and depression. Scott discovers that being on stage – and now in front of the camera – gives him the power, even for just a bit of time, to step into the light and leave the shadows of his mental health struggles behind. In case you didn’t see the stage show or want to re-experience it (and who can blame you), you are in for an experience that will make you think differently about the stigmas tied to mental health while keeping you consistently entertained.
