About | PainMD Productions
PMDP is committed to producing high production quality feature documentary and feature narrative films with documentary enhancement that are creative, entertaining, and with hard-hitting facts that enlighten, educate and entertain. We focus on medical, science, environmental, and humanitarian-related topics that are controversial and affect everyone on the planet. Answering the uncomfortable questions, exposing the truth and true motivation of our healthcare system, government agencies, and mega-corporations; wherever it leads us. Our goal is to present all sides of controversial issues with full truth and transparency and let the audience use their critical thinking and come to their own conclusions. We are not affiliated or associated with any political party, institution, or social organization.
Finally, we want to take positive action and offer solutions and alternatives to the monumental issues and problems we cover and expose in the healthcare system. A percentage of the net revenue of each film will be donated to fundApatient.org. This will help pay medical bills for patients who cannot afford innovative and needed treatment not covered by insurance or for those that are uninsured with minimal resources. We want to help fund research for the underfunded alternative methods of treating medical problems such as addiction, chronic pain, and cancer.
