F@#KING WONDERLAND: TRAILER
The 1-minute trailer for a film Jonathan Harnisch has been working on over the years documenting his real-life struggle with schizophrenia.

Here's the full original cut, always being worked on as you'll see as more films open up, i.e. "I am Jonathan," and more to come.

More Jonathan Harnisch/Porcelain Utopia Schizophrenia Films are in the making. Look out for the possibility of a full sereis of Jonathan's ongoing daily struggle with Sz and his continued resiliency and passion for his search for self and meaning.

Jonathan's keeping up with maintaining Porcelain Utopia, The Daily Dose (online newspaper), The Real Me podcast, the musical band with Schizophrenic & Caregiver, and The Collected Writings of Jonathan Harnisch, an 800 page series called "The Dreamer Sleeps without Dreaming." Jonathan's forthcoming "Lover in the Nobody" is set for publication in 2013.

Jonathan's online and free-to-all personal diaries covering the span of one full year in a state of psychosis back in 2006 is being transcribed. The 500 page, handwritten journals were never intended for publication of any sort but, as Jonathan opens up, what is in the past, stays there, and yet again, more of his story unfolds--sometimes evoking laughter, sometimes shock and elation, as well as tears, both the good tears, and the "bad."

Walking Away

Sometimes walking away has nothing to do with weakness, and everything with strength. We walk away not because we want others to realize our worth and value, but because we finally realize our own.

Learnt Through Pain

Sometimes, hurt is needed to make us grow. Failure needed to make us know. Loss is needed to make us gain. Because some lessons are best when learnt through pain.

When You Give

When you give and don't expect anything back, that's Love; but if you give and expect a return, that's an Investment.

Father God

Father God,

Have mercy upon me and strengthen me, that I may not through weakness stay in the darkness. Lead me out into the light; and may I find my way and be satisfied with Your love.

Amen.
