Currently,Sky Island is working with PMK*BMC on the distribution wrap-up of the indie film ON THE ICE—which
bowed to critical acclaim at Sundance 2011 and played in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Alaska and other markets throughout
the first quarter of 2012.
And-on behalf of Fisher Klingenstein Films-Sky Island is now preparing for the national release of the acclaimed documentary
OC87.
OC 87 is the moving story of Buddy Clayman.
Soon after college, he was struck by mental illness, piercing
his career in Hollywood.
Thirty years of treatment, medications, and life have passed.
Without waiting for his
symptoms to vanish, Buddy is now making the movie of his life - he is both the subject and one of the directors of OC87.
This innovative, funny, and touching documentary champions a message of mental health recovery.
Sky Island has OC87 set to open May 25th in New York
and will expand its release throughout the summer.
Sky Island Films has also had a successful theatrical release
of its own -SMALLVOICES.
SMALL VOICES is now available on DVD from indiepix.net.
