A comedic and episodic look at how the Brain Institute helped 81 people with their brain skills--from the ordinary (intelligence and creativity) to the extraordinary (controlling the weather and bending space-time). But one man is determined to show that the head of the Brain Institute is a fraud and a charlatan.

Scott Bateman has suffered from depression most of his life, so of course now he has made a funny and visually-inventive autobiographical documentary about how his depression feels. The film is structured as a fast-paced 100-question test and includes appearances by Cory McAbee (The American Astronaut), Frank Conniff (Mystery Science Theater 3000), comedians Lane Moore (Tinder Live) and Dave Hill (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), and more. Made on a budget of $5000, the film is packed with visual effects and animation created by director Scott Bateman, who also wrote, composed the music, edited and shot The Bateman Lectures on Depression.
