My Name is Alan

Film Trailer

My Name is Alan is a five year chronicle about Alan Streets, a paranoid schizophrenic, as he struggles to succeed as an artist in New York City. Alan's struggles and difficulties as an artist are so fully delineated that one is left wondering if Alan's paranoia is generated by his illness or rather is just part of the reality of trying to make it as an artist in New York City.

Whatever the case, the viewer comes away from this memorable film with a heightened appreciation for all artists, a better understanding of a complex disease - and the fervent hope that Alan will somehow persevere.
