The DIS-REALITY Show
here is a synopsis for those who would just like to contribute ...i am pouring through hours of footage to re mix , the first season "Bipolar Disorder" here is what the part of the first and all of the second season will bring us
The Dis-Reality Show starring B-Rock – a 21 year old Bipolar rapper armed with a witty play on words and a head flooded with stories he cryptically tells through his haunting rhymes. B-rock aspires to become the world’s next best rapper, and no doubt, he's got the talent to accomplish that. However, his dreams are constantly hindered by the abuse of New York's town of Cornwall Police Department. Recorded and Taped over the past 5 years, sit in and witness how this young superstar invents a new genre of rap with his first album “Bipolar Disorder” despite how he has struggled to understand his mental condition, Bipolar Disorder, as well as dealing with the abusive cops in his own town. All too often, this talented young man is on the verge of committing suicide because of the cops trying to lock him up in jail based on false accusations.
When Sergeant Dixon lies on a police report, then attempts to arrest the father in the court house once he realizes he has to lie on the stand, the drama boils over. Watch the gripping drama of a father and son's struggle to stay alive amidst the corruption and web of lies created by the very authorities that America holds true to its heart.
In season Two, tune in on a father's fight to expose the corruption and keep his son out of jail, while still promoting his son's music, consoling the souls afflicted by bipolar disorder. Season Two brings the audience up to date, when the action really picks up as B-Rock, Bobby Henriksen tries to record his second album, "Face the Music." Will he get to record Face the Music, or will B-Rock Face the Music? Don't miss out on this action-packed, dramatic storyline as it Plays out in real time..*******Just Finished the season ending Great cliffhanger*******
I need to edit and package over 52 two episodes of the show, they can run for over a year straight every week ..and by the time the year ends we will have another season wrapped up
This is a very well thought out detailed Plan For the show over the next few years, there is so much i had to break it down to 3 separate fundraisers. if you just like the Bipolar aspect of it and want some one who will put this in the public light and want to donate, i am an advocate that will see this fight through to the end, my conviction and determination, is and will be unmatched because my sons life hangs in the balance and they did this to my family! if you are a TV pro you will see you will see a geographical and demographical coup, for you Phycitrist this is a 21 year study of a Bipolar child with chronologically detailed Case study with videos and ,physc,school,police,records.(Also A Good perk)
Who I Am: I am Robert Alan Henriksen. I am a multimedia artist whose work includes Music, Poetry, Video, and Photography. This is my intro into Reality TV. You can see some of my creations and credentials on my many websites. All links can be found at ADHD Records and ADHD ENTERTAINMENT. What I am here for is to push my marketing plan which centers on my artist B-Rock, who also happens to be my son. Have you ever had to deal with a lot of shit in life? I have had my share. I have also learned how to turn those lemons into lemonade. This has been a 20 -year project. 15 years of it were taken up by me learning first hand about Bipolar Disorder and the last 5 years have been taken up by teaching my kid, (B-Rock), how to deal with it. Not only could you not live in his shoes, but try being the father of a bipolar child, but also the father of a genius inside a crazy mind. This is what I made out of the product I was blessed with and he is lyricly gifted, and i don't like suffering a lifetime without making life give something back, so this is it! my resume includes many music videos, songs,photography, and more all can be found at my facebook page under photos which will have all my multi meadia creations attached to it https://www.facebook.com/robert.henriksen1
The Dis-Reality Show was created by me, The (Dis) stands for disability, and as B-rock so eloquently puts it in the songs like "Lost In The World. You dont know what it's like to walk in his shoes, and you won't, but when you get through the first season you will wonder how a kid of 15-17 could have forseen the future of a life not lived yet, while he lived this life of trauma at such an early age and be able to write about it, all before it happened, as if he was looking back on his life at the age of 25. That's what makes him and his first CD Bipolar Disorder so special. In 2006, after a stay in the Four Winds Hospital in Westchester NY, at age 15 B-rock came back with the formula for combining his rapping skills with his mental illness. His first song "I Aint Going By The Rules" was featured in the Wrestling Fanfest 2007 in San Francisco...(see 2 Commercials I Created For the Event In the Gallery) and in the next 2 years he wrote over 50 songs, 18 of which are on the Bipolar Disorder CD which makes up the first season of The Dis Reality Show. B-Rock is not only rapper he is a crossover artist with a blend of rock, pop, trip hop and ska,. When you hear these songs, just picture a 15/16 year old kid with a mental problem. When you look at some of the footage, you first impression might be "HUH!" but as you watch B-Rock Rap, that's where it all starts to make sense and you will realize that you are hearing a hit song, Their are demo episodes up on the site now. which will also be filled with interviews, photo shoots,trips,a look back at Lil B etc. B-rock writes like Billy Joel and raps like Eminem/ Tupac/Biggie.,
This season is just the primer we had to have this behind us to establish a history to generate an audience for the second season.This will be a Bipolar Music Story,
====================================================================================
There are several elements to the show. Here are a few:
- The audience will see an up-and-coming Writer/Rapper growing up from the age of 15 and maturing in the studio and in life dealing with his disabilities.
- The audience will see very little of me, but in my many roles as a father trying to create the persona of this great rapper and as a professional trying to teach him, as well as market him, as well as try to help him cope and be his psyche.
- The audience will also see me as a father, outside of the scope that any father would want, having to protect his son from the ills and ABUSES of the world and the police corruption with which he has unwittingly become involved, at least in the second season. The audience will also see some parts of his family life(very little), more like a looking back on his problems and how we had to deal with it in a helpful aspect not a drama.
- The audience will also get to see, be part of, and purchase clothes from his fashion line Bweargear, which we are in the process of creating, as well as the T-Shirt line that we already have which will grow with his own words of wisdom from his songs
- The audience will also get to see all the steps I have taken as the indie record company in promoting him and creating the concept for the album, the cover, the videos the web design, the T-Shirts and the hundreds of other steps that i have taken and things i have created to create a buzz around an artist and see how he developed...THIS FUNDING DRIVE WILL BE INCLUDED ALSO
- We are not only selling a show ,we are selling an artist and a CD which could be a million seller as well
- This is not only about a rapper this is more about a mental condition as well as the abuse we all suffer, which i am now an advocate for and will be forever . and this platform will allow me and B-Rock to make a big Difference in the bipolar community, in helping a lot of lives and stopping a lot of future abuses from happening as well as trying to prevent suicide ..with commercials and spots that will air after and inbetween the episodes, we need your help we can take the fight to them and will..we wil be the voice for the millions who suffer in silence
Watch as the first season of the show. flows into his teenage and trouble years were the police abuse starts to get more serious We have lots of video that wil put a picture to the deatils he sings about ,
And I can assure you,
the second season will be filled with lots of other drama-filled videos, from what has went on in the past few years, as well as great songs..... you can see some of the Footage we will be using here and see what B-rock looks like now and hear some of the music the new season will contain. BROCKDAMIC
======================================================================================
One might ask, "Where's the drama?" Well, at first the concept of the show was going to be,"Watch me turn a bipolar kid into the world's best rapper, along with dealing with his bipolar issues. This is why I taught him how to write; to be able to cope with his problems and to show others who suffer from similar disabilities that a person can succeed and that there is hope for everyone no matter what his or her disability.
Because of all the unforeseen circumstances that we have had to go through over the past 4 years, which have exploded out of control, which is why the show is now filled with all this drama. We didn't want it, but it is there and we had to include it because it was happening and still is, though we hope we are almost through it. A lot of this was video taped and I can tell you, you have never seen anything like it. When you see what the system has done to This little kid's life, you will not believe The ABUSES that they were able to get away with it. What they did to him and our family over the years is inconceivable. By "they," I am speaking of many government agencies - from the local police (where this all started) all the way up to the secret service. You, the audience, will see what they did and what I had to do to save my son.
That is the element that will make the second season explosive and the third season even more so. We are not done with this and it will spill over to the third season, like a cliffhanger and I am not done fighting for justice for my son. You can only imagine what I have done to them alread Knocking them down a few levels close to reality CORNWALL FORUM By the fourth season, which will be recorded late next year, there will be court cases and lots more drama, but the story will be interwoven
into each episode of the new season (the second season). Later this year, B-Rock will begin recording his second CD, "Face the Music," which will also be the soundtrack for the second season of the B-Rock Dis- Reality Show, which will give us footage showing how B-Rock has changed since the first season. When the first season is re-edited a lot of where the drama started will be included into the first season of the show. So it will connect a lot easier to the second season, since this show was created in hindsight two years after the first CD Bipolar Disorder was recorded. This is also the reason that we are ahead of the game, already having the second season practically done, all we have to do is get to the studio to records a few more songs.i think we recorded 10 so far, Every season is just based on the album that he records, so if we can record two albums in 2012, we will have a third season also. As the deliemas fade, we will still be in the studios, doing gigs, and on tour - so there are at least 3 seasons of material that we already have and 3 more that we will record in the next few years. .

MORE upcoming MUSIC news
B-Rock has already written 2 songs he would like to do with other artist one song with Little Jon 1/w Fat joe..
B-Rock is also working on MIX Tape with about 10 songs over a half hour of music ,which he will release on the internet before Face The Music
B-Rock is also working on a few Dance songs cause Rap and Dance are 2 different things but combine a rapper with a dance song and you can perform at dance clubs like the paladuim, 2 songs include "I like it Straight" "Shawty Wanna Get Next To Me" which you can see and hear at his site
with Bipolar disorder having 18 tracks we might just make "Face The Music" have 18 track also he has about 80 completed tracks we will see what 18 make the cut
as you can see there are so many ways that the show can go and the seasons can change an other episodes that can be added this year next year as B-Rock the artist grows. I have created all these options around him and every thing will fall into place , its really a team effort that benifits eveyone involved not just B-Rock, but most importantly the bipolar community
The Dis-Reality show could start off as a web series to promote the TV series.because i feel we can reach more people and take advantage of my internet presence..and other the social networks out there .this is a dual promotional plan one to promote the Show but also Promote the Artist and his CD Bipolar Disorder.
======================================================================================
Team members,
The team members so far are Steven Raleigh,(LWR PRODUCTION studio), Bobby Henriksen (AKA) B-Rock...Jennifer Migeal ( graphic designer), i have just hooked up with all around editor Sean O'halloran to help with the new seasons video editing and re-branding of The Dis Reality Show, up until now i have did everything my self
======================================================================================
The Impact
I think the impact will be far reaching in the music field. I believe it will open the doors to a new kind of rap ,because B-rock combines urban tales and his mental problems so eloquently.
More importantly, I see it as having an even greater impact on helping others to understand bipolar disorder. Mental illness effects us all and is color blind. B-Rock's lyrics demonstrate the genius inside of a crazy mind. In his lyrics, B-Rock is able to break down the barriers to understanding mental illness. There could only be one person to be the poster child for adolescent Bipolar Disorder and I believe that because B-Rock is unafraid to write about what it is like to be Bipolar that B-Rock is that person. I think he could put mental illness and Bipolar on the map in the headlines so that millions of others could get help and realize that they are not alone. Mental illness is a serious thing, and too many people are killing themselves, as well as ending up in jail. Most are teenagers who feel just like B-Rock feels. If you head over to his page to give a listen, find "End of the Rope," "After Traumatization," "The Crazy Song," and "Lost in the World." Just listen to the lyrics and tell me how many of you haven't felt this way before or still feel this way now? and Realize that these songs were written by a 15/16 year old kid.
So, regardless of whether the show gets picked up nationally, it will still be in production with every song B-Rock records and Every CD he releases. I will continue to create the episodes and to create our own station because the show is more about the lyrical content that makes up his bipolar world and the life he has had to live because of it. every gig he does, and all the drama of his life. This is really the begining,
B-Rock has already written enough songs for 3 seasons which is 3 CD's. That is the concept. Now, by the time he gets to record those CDs, the life he has been living will be part of the show. The show will depict the life he is living during the time he is recording. B-Rock is 20, so in the next 3 years there will be over100 episodes taped with songs he has already written and by the time he is 23, he will have written at least another 3 CD's to records probably more, and that would be over a 100 more episodes being recorded so in 3 years he will have close to or over 200 episodes and 6 seasons worth of drama. as it stands that's like a new show airing every 2 weeks for a full year and that is the songs that make the cut to be on the CD ,we still have 10 songs(episodes)that didn't make Bipolar Disorder.
MORE PEOPLE PROBABLY SUFFER FROM BIPOLAR DISORDER THAN CANCER AND ITS THE YOUNG ONES THAT SUFFER MOST PEOPLE WITH CANCER GET IT AT THE LATER STAGES IN LIFE BIPOLAR ONSETS AT THE EARLIER STAGES IN LIFE in most cases
We also have a BROCKUMENTRY IN THE WORKS. B-Rock and I are working on his life story for a movie, as well as a book. I don't believe in suffering for nothing. If I could help others deal with their problems and they can learn a little, then i didn't suffer for nothing and neither did B, and that was the whole idea behind teaching B-rock to write. It was to help him cope with his problems and so other people can listen to how he feels and say, "Wow, I feel that way too," and so that they can realize that they are not alone.
i also as a father have been working on my own book about 100 pages so far about all the pit falls and things we have had to go through , and my solutions to a lot of these and what to watch for and solution to combat the illness as signs of what to look for its not a fun life for anyone believe you me
======================================================================================
What We Need & What You Get
The reason i settled on 10 thousand dollars is because that is what i think it would take to get this off the ground and market it on the web. With less, i will still manage. With more, I will stretch it as far as i can. I am very frugal with money. I don't waste it! i have put together the show myself over a few years. What iI need the funds for is to hire professionals to help me take it to the next level! Obtaining this funding will allow me to spend my money on the studio time needed to record the second season, "Face The Music" and to fund the CD and design the covers, as well as the T-Shirts, etc. In doing so, I will be creating and generating more footage for the second season of the show and even this is part of the show. Some of the perks I will give to donors might be a Cameo on the show. Other donors will get ads featured on the website as sponsors of the show. The highest donors will also get options to ad a commercial after the webisodes. This is what i need and why i need it! (at least 4000 plus - per function):to obtain these services for the year, plus othert promotional material for a street and club promotion, we are promoting and TV show and an Artist
1) a video editor to recreate the first season episodes that I created and re-brand them with a new intro, outro, credits, etc. and several commercials to shop around.
2) I need to hire a very ultra professional to build a web site to promote the series and the artist simultaniously and joined seamlessly, including blog, gallery and all connections to other content that i have created for B-Rock. put on a dedicated server to host all the music and videos streaming
3)most of all I need the SEO pro to help me market the show on the web. I know the audience is very broad and diverse demographically and geographically. I have several of my own marketing plans that focus on the 4 elements of the show. I need to hire a company for a year + contract to market the show, the website, and commercials and tie them in to and take advantage of the 10 million people i get a year from all my other sites that is a very diverse audience
plus post cards, supplies, CD's to give away etc, to promote the show around NYC
....EXTRA EXTRA ...If we raise more money than we need, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, then it will go into artists to set up more T-shirts like the ones you see i have created. I have about 30 more. I just cant churn them out as fast as he writes.also to create more hats and posters of those same shirts hopefully the show can generate funds by selling these shirt . ,
extra monies will also be used on more advertising on social network because that is where the audience is, and maybe go towards the second season,THE MORE WE RAISE THE MORE I CAN DO PERIOD
EXTRA EXTRA.. we will also try to get some of the Pharmaceutical companies to sponsor the show,you know hawk there pills that's the audiance they want and some of these pills do work its just finding the right pill for the right person
Other Ways You Can Help
