Celebrating Renowned Lives: Unscripted Journeys of Overcoming and Becoming
Unlike interviews—which are structured and thought-based—SESSIONS are spontaneous and emotion-driven, revealing raw, unfiltered truth.
In the groundbreaking series SESSIONS with Dr. Mark Lerner, I set out to capture raw, unscripted narratives of distinguished individuals—renowned figures whose lives we celebrate. They share, in their own words, how they've harnessed painful emotional energy to overcome adversity and become who they are today.
Accompanied by a skilled videographer, I film intimate A-roll footage—intentionally free of high-cost production—as these celebrated clients enact an unscripted “session” from years past. Breaking the fourth wall, they spontaneously reveal genuine moments of vulnerability, insight, and truth. After a brief commercial break, the client returns in the present day, revealing how they've channeled their painful emotional energy to overcome—and become.
From private homes and luxury hotels to iconic venues, just two armchairs in a therapist’s office become a sanctuary, honoring the unique journey of each individual. Through extreme close-ups—eyes, hands, and subtle gestures—we invite viewers beyond the surface, immersing them in raw, unguarded moments. This minimalist, reverent approach keeps the focus where it belongs: on the power of human transformation.
SESSIONS with Dr. Mark Lerner is not just a series—it's an immersive emotional experience. It invites viewers not simply to watch, but to feel the extraordinary capacity of the human spirit to overcome adversity—and, ultimately, become.
“The list of remarkable people is endless—and nearly all have overcome and become.”
—Dr. Mark Lerner
