Touched With Fire is a drama written and directed by first time feature filmmaker Paul Dalio. The film premiered at last year’s South By Southwest Festival and stars Katie Holmes, Luke Kirby, Christine Lahti, Griffin Dunne, and Bruce Altman.

Touched with Fire stars Katie Homes and Luke Kirby as two poets with bipolar disorder whose art is fueled by their emotional extremes. When they meet in a treatment facility, their chemistry is instant and intense driving each other’s mania to new heights. They pursue their passion which breaks outside the bounds of sanity, swinging them from fantastical highs to tormented lows until they ultimately must choose between sanity and love.

For Dalio, the biggest challenge of making Touched With Fire was “to actually convey what it’s like through people’s eyes, who are bi-polar. How to do that and not see these characters from the outside but to live in their skin.”
