The Mental Health Association will screen OC87: The Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depression, Bipolar, Asperger's Movie (Bud Clayman , Glenn Holsten, Scott Johnston, U.S. 2010, 100 min.) in the Rehab Center Auditorium of the Rochester Psychiatric Center as part of the Films, Facts and Fallacies About Mental Health series, followed by a discussion led by Dr. Laurence Guttmacher.

Director Bud Clayman's documentary is a personal story with universal relevance – a wildly original documentary of pain and vulnerability, empowerment and his quest for belonging. Throughout his youth, Bud's future was filmmaking. After college he headed to Hollywood in search of a break. Instead he had a breakdown. Thirty years later, in an effort to both reclaim and share his story, he's making the movie of his life. Through video diaries, Bud reveals eye-opening glimpses of his inner world. "I want people to understand," says Clayman, "there is more to mental illness than pain and problems. My recovery is about acceptance and getting on with life."
