Andy Postman’s ‘ABC of Insanity’
“This is about all the things you get called when you’re crazy!” Rare footage of the late, great Andy Postman who shares his ‘ABC of Insanity’. Much of this was shot on the hoof in the streets of Nottingham for the award winning film: ‘Insight in Mind’, with filmmaker Dan Saul and producer Penny Arnold. Their documentary offers an insight into the experience of manic depression or bi polar disorder. Though at the time we were just having fun! Here’s to Andy Postman (20/02/1955 – 05/10/2008) a poet, performer and wonderful craftsman who frightened some and inspired many.
