A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEO's, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists have recently disclosed that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success. The Disruptors hears from many of those game-changing people about their ADHD, and takes an immersive look at our approach to ADHD that debunks the most harmful myths, and intimately takes viewers inside a number of families as they navigate the challenges - and the surprising triumphs - of living with ADHD.

Viewers are intimately transported into the five families' households where they navigate the challenges — and the surprising triumphs — of living with ADHD.

    SYNOPSIS: ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed-and widely misunderstood-neurological conditions in the world today, affecting nearly 10% of kids and a rising number of adults. But what if having an ADHD brain is actually an asset? A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEO's, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists have recently disclosed that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success.  

    After meeting  board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, and nationally recognized expert on ADHD,  Ned Hallowell, M.D., film producer Nancy Armstrong was inspired by his "strengths-based" approach to  ADHD and knew that the medium of film was the best way to finally upend the stigma associated with this diagnosis.

    About THE PRODUCER
    Nancy Armstrong is an Emmy®-nominated producer and Executive Producer at Happy Warrior Media. Previously, she co-founded the award-winning women's leadership and media platform, MAKERS, which was named one of the 100 best websites for women by Forbes, and received the Women's Media Center Award for its ground-breaking contribution to women, history, and America. Nancy was inspired to create this film as a result of her family's experiences navigating life with ADHD.

    "ADHD is simultaneously a major public health issue as well as one of the most powerful engines of creativity and innovation for the world. This film will liberate kids and families to know that they are not alone and that their child with ADHD has some challenges and some pretty impressive strengths. And if you're a kid with ADHD who has ever been told that you're never going to amount to anything, the role models in this film are the most powerful counter to that narrative. ADHD touches every classroom, every business, and every community in the world, and The Disruptors offers a blueprint to change ADHD from an issue to an opportunity – one kid at a time." – Nancy Armstrong, Executive Producer/Producer

    "These kids are seen as naughty or disruptive and in need of better parenting, but it's like asking someone with glasses to see without glasses.  Taking away this stigma that comes along with things that are neurological is a real sea change that needs to happen." – Stephanie Soechtig, Director

    Stephen Arnold Music Creates Immersive Soundscapes for Histovery’s “Surrounded: The Alamo Augmented Experience”

    Stephen Arnold Music (SAM), the world leader in sonic branding, recreated the sounds of the most storied site in Texas history for Surrounded: The Alamo Augmented Experience now on view at The Alamo in San Antonio. SAM produced stunningly realistic, immersive soundscapes for the groundbreaking AR attraction, which takes visitors on a journey through The Alamo’s 300-year history. The sound environments bring vividly to life the rich, natural ambience of the site in six distinct time periods, as well as battle sounds and the voices of Native Americans, Spanish friars and the heroic defenders The Alamo. Surrounded: The Alamo Augmented Experience was produced by Histovery, a leader in augmented reality experiences. Using a handheld tablet with a custom app, The HistoPad, Alamo visitors experience its history as never before. Holding the tablet up to any number of ‘timeportals’ throughout the tour brings to life interactive characters, immersive clips and 360-degree animations from across time. "With HistoPad, you’re no longer a spectator—you’re an active part of history," said Asia Laird, Managing Director of Histovery U.S. “It’s a new way to enjoy and learn the Alamo story,” says SAM president and creative director Chad Cook. “You feel as though you are standing in the Alamo as it looked and sounded in 1813, 1836 and 1907. It’s living history.” SAM created soundscapes and dialogue specific to the different periods featured in the attraction, from the founding of Mission San Antonio de Valero in the 18th century to the beginning of efforts to preserve the site in 1907. Drawing on meticulous research and guidance from historians, the studio’s sound designers reproduced the sounds of the Battle of the... Read More
