Illness The Movie

Four million children and adolescents in this country suffer from a serious mental disorder and half of all lifetime cases of mental disorders begin by age 14. Over 90 percent of children and adolescents who commit suicide have a mental disorder.  

Illness is a short film with a BIG MESSAGE.  It is our hope that it will spark conversation, debate and raise awareness about this life-threatening illness.  To date, the film has been accepted into 12 film festivals worldwide and received 19 nominations and 4 wins including Best Short Film, Best Actor and two Best Actress awards.  The Illness team is dedicated to bringing the stigma of mental illness to the forefront.  Because of the success of the short film, a full-length feature is now in development.
