Clay Hunt on ‘60 Minutes:’ A theme in our documentary ‘Recovering’

Tonight, “60 Minutes” tells the story of Clay Hunt, a Marine with post-traumatic stress disorder who seemed to have everything going for him, but tragically committed suicide. He was a cyclist with Ride2Recovery, a nonprofit organization that helps vets heal the wounds of war. That organization is featured in our film, “Recovering” — and Clay’s story figures into the film. Check out “The Life and Death of Clay Hunt” on CBS News here. 

Our documentary film, about vets grappling with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries and other wounds of war, will come out later this year. This film is independently funded, mostly by veterans, their families, cyclists and Americans who care about the services of veterans. Consider a donation to the film or pre-purchase of the DVD by going to the red Shop button above. We’re also seeking corporate sponsors. Contact Director Michael de Yoanna to bring your brand to a community that cares about vets: michael@becomefilms.com

Become Films seeking corporate sponsorships

As we near completion of the production of our documentary, “Recovering,” Become Films is now seeking corporate and group sponsors. In exchange for the cost of an advertisement, Become Films will feature your organization’s logo prominently in the film, along with other placements, bringing it to a large, mainstream audience in theaters, DVD and download distribution and, eventually, television.

This important film, about veterans healing their wounds — visible and invisible — comes after more than a decade of war. It’s an emotional film about how veterans are healing their wounds through a simple recreation: Bicycling.

Veterans, their families, friends and supporters are a coveted demographic and this is an opportunity for companies and other organizations to reach them in a positive way while helping us finish a much-needed film about their lives. Too often America’s war veterans are forgotten. We haven’t forgotten.

There are a limited number of sponsorships available and we’re about to announce our first — a household brand — soon.

Thank you and thanks to all the veterans out their for their sacrifices!
