1091 announced today the acquisition of worldwide rights to the award-winning documentary Chasing the Present, directed and written by Mark Waters. 1091 will release the film digitally in September 2020. The deal was negotiated by Danny Grant, SVP of Film and Partnerships from 1091, and Adam A. Schomer, Director/Producer from i2i Productions.
Featuring interviews with Russell Brand, Marina Abramovic , Alex Grey, Graham Hancock, Gary Weber, Rupert Spira, Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Matthew Watherston and more, Chasing the Present follows a materially successful young man, riddled with anxiety. Embarking on a world-wide journey to explore the root cause of the modern societal epidemic of stress and emotional suffering, he finds answers to why a person, who seemingly has it all, can continue to suffer from debilitating panic attacks. We can all free ourselves from anxiety and recognize the beauty and power that lies within each of us, if we are willing to go there. Chasing the Present is produced by James Sebastiano, Anna Kolber, Michael Beech, and Mark Waters.
