LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Amanda Seyfried has gone to great lengths to see her new movie “A Mouthful of Air” about postpartum depression hit the cinemas.
Based on the 2003 book of the same name by Amy Koppelman, who wrote about her own experience, the film came to fruition after Koppelman heard a woman talking on the radio about having the condition. She then reached out to Seyfried to see if they could make a film to shed light on it.
“I had to look a lot of my own mental illness in the eye. I suffer from OCD and panic attacks,” she said. “I had to portray that on screen and that was tricky but I could do it. I felt I was safe with Amy to go there and not be suffering while I went there.” After a fruitless search for a director, Koppelman took the helm of the project despite having no filming experience, because of her understanding of the condition.
