Created as just a three-minute sizzle reel to be pitched as a mini-series, director Andrew Cristi had enough footage to assemble it into a full-length sizzle that showed a mockumentary, docu-dramedy style version of his life.
Based on the book series of the same name, Director Andrew Cristi's top-selling memoirs; "The Peter Pandrew Trilogy."
To show audiences the most truthful depiction of someone suffering from Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder, Director Andrew Cristi starred as himself and was off his medication during filming.
Casting took about two months and was assisted by both mental health professionals and people from Andrew Cristi's real life in order to find actors who could most accurately portray the characters that were inspired from Andrew's real life and depict the mental disorders they represented.
The film references Fatal Attraction, Cruel Intentions and Girl, Interrupted, and is all a major analogy for Peter Pan.
All of these titles also represent characters with Borderline Personality Disorder; The character of Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction (who has since apologized for the villainous depiction of the disorder), Sebastian Valmont in Cruel Intentions (the teen version of Dangerous Liaisons), and Susanna Kayson in Girl, Interrupted...and of course, Peter Pan- who sucks people into his fantasy Neverland only to push them away in Peter Pan.
Cristi's memoirs, "The Peter Pandrew Trilogy" frequently reference even more of these titles that deal with the disorder, most notably Gia, which is frequently referenced.
