...has just been completed!!! Now you can see this inspirational 90-minute feature length documentary at the World Premiere at Hancher Auditorium in Iowa City on June 7, 2008. (Go to www.BillSackter.com for more information)
Bio:
Lane Wyrick graduated from Film School at the University of Iowa in 1990, then spent four years learning the craft of professional production in Los Angeles.
He returned to his hometown of Iowa City in 1995 to form Xap Interactive Inc., to create original, inspired productions including feature length documentaries & films.
His first documentary short, "The Nazi Drawings" won numerous awards, and he now recently completed his first feature length documentary "A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story" which brings to life the real Bill Sackter, using photos, film & video footage of Bill and interviews with those closest to him. It also features an incredible full orchestral music score by Hollywood-trained composer Peter Bloesch who worked in close collaboration with Wyrick.
Wyrick also created a stunningly visual tour of nature on DVD. The production called "XapVision Nature Scenes" is an incredible DVD featuring nearly three hours of scenes and sounds of nature that he produced over a three year time period, while he was working on the Bill Sackter documentary. |

A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story's Blurbs |
About me:
The real life story of the man who forever changed
the way the world looks at people with disabilities,
with just a cup of coffee, a harmonica,
and a little help from his friends.
A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story is a feature length documentary that has just been completed exploring the extraordinary real-life journey of Bill Sackter, from a lifetime of institutional abandonment and neglect, to becoming a hero for people with disabilities, with the help and attention of some very caring individuals.
 Bill, shortly after leaving the institution
The 90-minute production is an inspirational and powerful documentary, and has been described in private screenings as very emotional - bring the Kleenex!
 He received help from many friends
Bills life struggles were brought to international attention in the highly successful made-for-tv movie Bill, starring Mickey Rooney and Dennis Quaid.
Now the real Bill Sackter is brought to life by Award-Winning Filmmaker Lane Wyrick, through actual film & video footage and photographs of Bill, and interviews with those that knew him intimately.
 Mickey Rooney portrayed his life story in the
highly successful made-for-tv movie - Bill
This documentary is a very revealing look at how friendship and support can make a huge difference in a person's life. And how Bills refreshing embrace of life in the present, instead of embitterment about the past, is a positive example we can all learn from.
A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story is a documentary that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. It is an inspirational look at the bright side of life, while also looking at the harsh realities of our past, and shows how Bill was able to transform his life and have an amazing journey to become a bright shining star while remaining a humble individual.
It's an emotionally uplifting documentary
that will inspire people of all ages!

He could have easily been forgotten, but Bill embraced
life and those around him, and lived with dignity
