Shanda Davis, Executive Director of the BCIFF Film Festival and Daniel Gervais of Midacom.

In the last few months, The 80/20 Project has benefited from a few awards worth to be mentioned. First of all, the film was selected to participate in the Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival in Houston Texas, in the Documentary category in competition with many others films from around the world. Daniel Gervais, the film Director was present at the festival that was held from August 7th through the 9th and came back very satisfied with the results. Over 150 films were shown in a variety of categories. The 80/20 project received an Honorable Mention on Mike Santoro’s original standpoint in the way he deals with his mental illness.

Secondly, in June 2008 the film was awarded a prestigious Honorable Mention award from The Accolade Film Awards in La Jolla, California which recognized Mike’s unique vision on living and coping with a severe mental illness. In winning this award, The 80/20 Project joins the rank of other high-profile winners and receives the recognition it deserves.

When we first started this project, our expectations were high and numerous. Mike wanted to fulfill his dream of talking to large audiences and give hope to people living with a severe mental illness. In every film festival that we participate, Mike’s vision and unique way in dealing with his illness keeps popping out. We must say that our goals are being fulfilled one by one. All it takes is perseverance and dedication and of course, never giving up.
