Panel discussion with OCD experts & filmmakers
Since it premiered in 2017, UNSTUCK: an OCD kids movie has been used in hundreds of therapists’ offices, community settings and classrooms to raise awareness about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, build community, and help kids and families dealing with OCD.
This free OCD Awareness Week event will answer your questions about OCD and explore the many ways films and associated social media campaigns can have an impact and find a distribution life far outside traditional venues like film festivals.
Involuntary Repetition as Everyday Life is a new short film by Jay Chieh-Chun Lee (Integrated Media Arts MFA program).
