PJ Moynihan - Constructing (and de-constructing) social

mythology through media

Media is powerful, and shapes our relationship to everything
from the products we consume, to social issues, to our sense of

self worth, and even how we relate to one another. Media builds
temples. It also destroys them. In the information age, our ability

to consciously dissect and consume media-driven information is a
crucial, refined skill. This original interactive workshop/

presentation from Digital Eyes Film explores the origins of our contemporary mental
health, addiction, and trauma narratives in western culture, including the ways and

means by which embedded ideologies can be deconstructed through media and social

action, in order to improve public health conditions in our communities and society-at-
large.

PJ Moynihan is founder and CEO of Digital Eyes Film, a full services media company

specializing in social impact documentary, feature films, and independent distribution. He
is the award winning writer, director and producer of HEALING VOICES and RECOVERING

ADDICTION.
