Movie Screenings

An Opportunity to Motivate and Inspire

UNDIAGNOSED: The Future of Medicine gives the audience the experience of what it’s like to live the life of an undiagnosed patient on a daily basis.

The film’s powerful, intimate portraits of those who are suffering and its representation of the groundbreaking, dedicated work of the scientists trying to make new discoveries will be highly motivational, deepening the connection between what employees do each day at work and the gravity of its real-life impacts. 

Your audience will truly understand what the work they do means to the people who will benefit from it. The film will inspire and motivate the audience to connect with how they are a part of these stories, and most importantly, the hope they are giving through their work.

UNDIAGNOSED is honored to have won 9 awards and been selected at 25 film festivals around the world. The film also received 15 award nominations.

“Intimate and powerful storytelling. The technical qualities are absolutely first-rate, the test being that we so quickly forget that these lives are being mediated by the narrative. We forget the cameras, forget the editing and just become absorbed in it all. Truly impressive work. ”
— Judges Panel, Central Alberta Film Festival

Katia Moritz, Ph.D., ABPP.

E. Katia Moritz, Ph.D., ABPP is the Chief Clinical Officer and the training director at the Neurobehavioral Institute. Dr. Moritz is Board Certified in Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology and a Fellow of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT). She is a licensed psychologist in Florida, New York, Utah and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dr. Moritz is the creator and director of the feature length documentary UNDIAGNOSED. As a patient advocate and a mother of two children with a rare genetic disorder, Dr. Moritz has been a catalyst of multiple undiagnosed incentives. Her engaging and heartfelt presentations have moved and connected audiences to the important mission of the undiagnosed and rare disease community. 

“As a healthcare provider with decades of experience helping people, I thought I was well prepared to navigate the medical system. But the reality is that the medical system is not prepared for people like me.”
— Dr. Katia Moritz

Told through the stories of four different families, the film explores why the medical system is failing this population and how studying these patients will advance medicine for all of humanity.

“I watched the film and was quite moved... The concept of the film — a medical documentary without a clear target — is like an action movie without a villain, and requires a different approach to talking about the circumstances and working our way through the drama. The film does so in a really impressive fashion.”
— Brian Hu, Artistic Director, Pacific Arts Movement
