Call Me Crazy is comprised of five interconnected short films,
each exploring a different facet or perspective on the effect of mental

schizophrenia. “Grace” portrays the experience of a teenage girl whose mother lives with bipolar disorder. “Allison” is a humorous family drama of Lucy’s return from inpatient treatment, and the effect it has on her sister. “Eddie” is a comedian whose story of living with depression is told through the eyes of his wife. Finally, “Maggie” follows a female veteran and the effect posttraumatic stress disorder has on her life, from which she receives support from her lawyer, Lucy.

The film’s goal is to help eradicate stigma and raise mental health awareness.  The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness has over 1,100 affiliates in communities across the country who engage in advocacy, research, support and education.
