A unique film festival that showcases themes of mental health -- created and curated by a practicing therapist!

Film is a force that can unite people, especially those struggling with mental health issues and those who seek to better understand these issues.

FILM GIVES A VOICE TO THOSE WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT BE HEARD.

Our film festival showcases and celebrates films that address topics of mental illness and/or are written, directed, or produced by champions who struggle with mental illness.

We are honored to screen these brave stories.

Awards & Prizes

The opinion of the festival organizers is that awards in the film industry can often be political and unfair.

At this time, this festival chooses to celebrate creatives by giving them a creative art-house cinema in historic downtown Santa Ana, California in which to showcase their amazing work among like-minded individuals.

A red carpet and photo-ops with friends and family are always in style, too!
