The idea for the film SEROTONIN RISING came to me in the year 2000. I was watching a PBS TV special and the narrator read a few lines from a medical study. He said that if you do a good deed for someone your serotonin levels will rise and your immune system will be strengthened. He went on to say that the same thing happens to the recipient of the good deed. The final words on this subject were what really hooked me: Any observer of the good deed will also feel their serotonin rise and have their immune system strengthened.

I wrote down a treatment for a future documentary based on those words and filed it for when the time felt right to produce it. A few years later, I came across a study conducted at the National Institutes of Health by Dr. Jordan Grafman . The research proved that the same regions of the brain that were activated when one received money were even more activated when one gave money to non-profit organizations.

After reviewing my notes from the PBS special and conducting more research on the topic, I was convinced that people would respond favorably to these findings. I set about contacting Dr. Grafman and other medical experts to confirm the NIH experiments. At the same time, I began interviewing more doctors as well as noted authors, spiritualists, visionaries, religious leaders, mind-body specialists and philosophers. Everyone agreed with the basic premise and many added their own views and advice to the subject. (...)
