The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that UNDER OUR SKIN was selected as one of the 15 finalists competing for “Best Documentary Feature” in the 82nd Academy Awards.

Open Eye Pictures is thrilled that the Academy has honored the courageous Lyme patients and physicians whose stories are told in this film. We hope that this recognition will help spread awareness about Lyme disease and serve as a catalyst for fixing our country’s broken health care, medical research and insurance systems.

The Academy documentary branch screening Committee viewed almost 100 qualifying documentaries during the preliminary round of voting. Academy members will now select five nominees from among the 15 titles on the shortlist, and Academy Award nominations will be announced on Tuesday, February 2, 2010.

WE NEED HELP! CONSIDER UOS FOR  END OF YEAR GIVING 

UNDER OUR SKIN is able to continue its mission of bringing Lyme disease to public consciousness only through the support of people like you. We are a nonprofit organization that depends on grants, donations and product sales. All proceeds go directly into the work of educating and opening eyes. In order to bring hope to the  Lyme community and cause, we have spent countless dollars on publicity, advertising and other outreach costs. We believe it has been the best investment in Lyme disease awareness ever, but we need your support to keep going. We are so close to an Oscar nomination; imagine what this could do to create lasting change! We can't give up our campaign now. Donors giving over $250 receive a free DVD and bumper sticker, but any amount helps. Thank you for your continued support!
