PHILADELPHIA (June 17, 2008) — “Catch Your Mind,” an independent family drama expected
to motivate teens to find comfort in their loved ones and in exciting new venues
like science and technology, opens Sept. 19, 2008 in select theaters in the U.S.
and Canada. |
 |
Robotics, the science and technology of robots
serves as the backdrop to a film about searching for the self-confidence and life
skills it takes to survive adolescence. A story about peer pressure, young love
and teenage angst, “Catch Your Mind” is a must-see movie
any teen or parent can relate to.
|
|
The film’s main character,
Bruce, is an excellent student who was raised in a loving home. But somewhere in
the middle of his search for self identity, Bruce falls into the wrong crowd and
quickly finds his world has turned upside down.
After Bruce loses interest
in academics and falls into a self-destructive pattern of underage drinking, his
mother and his childhood friend recognize his struggles and entice him to join his
high school’s NASA sponsored robotics team. Then everything changes.
“Catch Your Mind” explores
emotional conflict, trust and betrayal between a teenage boy and his mom. According
to Alan Ostrow and Cathy Beck, high school robotics mentors who helped out with
the film, the role robotics plays in the plot is anything but fictional. |
 |
(Robots lined up for “action”) “We’ve had
a lot of kids come in, confused about where they are in life,” Ostrow said. “More
than [robotics] itself, they find a place where they belong.”
|
|
This movie depicts that very world, in which a teenager
finally feels at home in a place where his family, friends and mentors are his biggest
supporters, and anything is possible because science and technology are celebrated. |
 |
(Swamy Kandan, Writer/Director) To maintain accuracy in the
film, Kandan recruited high school robotics teams and their mentors as technical
advisors. He also brought in a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
contractor and robotics field supervisor who supplied a robotics
field. Real life robotics enthusiasts offered their expertise and their machines
to create a competition atmosphere for filming in the Philadelphia suburbs.

|
Swamy Kandan is an independent filmmaker living in
Blue Bell, Pa. He holds masters degrees in electronics and management and learned
filmmaking at
New York University
. “Catch Your Mind,” Kandan’s first feature film as writer, director and producer,
was inspired by his teenage son’s involvement in competitive high school robotics.
This film is produced by Blossom Pictures LLC, a Philadelphia-based company that
