Extra Innings

Extra Innings

From Dina Gold of Moment Magazine:

“His sensitive film is a public service in itself.”

“Albert Dabah, the writer and director of the truly wonderful drama Extra Innings, has delivered a heartrendingly personal portrayal based on his own life story.”

“Herein lies Dabah’s storytelling skill: guiding the mounting tension between David’s need to balance the twin pulls of honoring his parents’ blinkered traditional lifestyle against the opportunity to find his own self-fulfillment and realize his ambitions.”

Extra Innings

"Albert Dabah, MSW, is a social worker so influenced by his early life and his experiences with mental health that he became a filmmaker, and has just this year released his first feature film, Extra Innings… After losing two of his siblings to suicide, Albert earned his MSW and though he worked in the profession, over the course of the past 20 years he was driven to write and direct a feature film based on his true story, to explore how mental health has affected not only him, but his family and community."

Extra Innings | Sports Drama

As you may or may not be aware, tomorrow (Saturday October 10th) is World Mental Health Day. We would like to take a moment to recognize the importance of bringing awareness to and reducing the stigma of mental health. In tackling these issues, we created the very personal film Extra Innings to express the pain and loss caused by drawing on my own family’s struggles with mental health. In the film we demonstrate what can happen when the environment surrounding these struggles is unwilling to take necessary steps in providing adequate attention and care to the issue.

We have had the great privilege to work with a number of national organizations who focus on mental health, spreading awareness, and saving lives. Some of these include: NAMI, SAVE, Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, Anxiety and Depression Association of America, American Psychiatric Association, and Mental Health America.

As the American Psychiatric Association puts it, “Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a medical problem, just like heart disease or diabetes.” It is so important that we bring this idea to our peers, friends, and family, so that everyone understands how there should be no shame in dealing with a mental illness, just that it should be treated and taken just as seriously as you would any physical malady life throws your way. Tomorrow's World Mental Health Day is a great time to discuss this important issue, and set aside some time for your own mental health as well.

All of us understand that the body and mind work together to form ourselves, but there has been a history of neglect and shame when it comes to healthy mental living. What these organizations do, among other things, is provide helpful resources to everyone so people can seek help, find help for their loved ones, and broaden their understanding of how this issue impacts our lives every day.

Join us tomorrow by taking the day to focus on the issue of Mental Health. Nearly one in five American adults live with mental illness (NIMH), which means the vast majority of us have either personally been affected by it, or know someone who is. Our film Extra Innings is a wonderful way to kickstart these conversations, and can be found in digital release on most popular platforms (including Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and FandangoNow).

“One mistake and it is game over. So in a sense the film is about life which is always unpredictable and often in extra innings. In fact I might be tempted to say it is a sweeping American drama covering some 15 years.” Read the full review from Robert K. Sephen at Set The Bar.

Extra Innings - Review - Set The Tape

"This movie does an amazing job of telling the story of mental illness from a perspective of those helpless to understand or help those afflicted, but whom are loved dearly. For anyone who has lived or loved someone with mental illness, this will surely draw parallels, and for those who haven’t, it certainly pulls back the curtain and allows a peek into the confusing and trying world of being in such a situation."
-Tawny Farber, Writer at Set the Tape

"The film is about life which is always unpredictable and often in extra innings. In fact I might be tempted to say it is a sweeping American drama covering some 15 years.”

"Young David by Aidan Pierce Brennan delivers a solid child performance. Natalie with such expressive eyes (Simone Policano) and Vivian (Mara Kassin) with her rebellious and fun-loving spirit seem to particularly sparkle.”

“You’ve given us a movie not only to think about, but to feel about. And in this world that I spend my life watching movies where they don’t do that, where it’s basically just escapism, you’ve given us a movie that matters.”

Hi Friends,

As many of you know, the road to making "Extra Innings" has been a long and difficult journey. A coming-of-age feature film over 20 years in the making, Extra Innings has been a labor of love very close to my heart. Finally, after many years, we are nearing the end, and, with your additional support, we can put it over the finish line. Please consider donating to my GoFundMe! Any donations would go into putting those final touches on the film that would allow it to be the best version of itself that it can be!

Additionally, Extra Innings is partnered with SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education), the leading suicide prevention organization dedicated to public awareness, education and to helping survivors. While I aspire for the film to help spread mental health awareness, I also want to support organizations like SAVE that do the amazing work.

That is why 10% of all donations to this GoFundMe campaign will be donated to SAVE to help them with their important work.

So, if you would like to support this film, as well as SAVE in their mission to raise awareness and aid those effected by suicide, please donate to my GoFundMe! Every dollar helps, and no amount is too little to donate. Thank you so much!

-Albert Dabah
