Experiencing Interruptions?

Ward D

Ward D centers around a state run psychiatric hospital, and the lives of both the residents and the staff that cares for them. It is a reserved, dark look at the places no one wishes to believe exists.
A place where good people do bad things for the right reasons.

Director Biography - Peter Galipeau

Peter Galipeau has been an actor for 30 years. He formed NTL Studios in 2010. His first film, I Hate David Mamet written by Matt Cheney, was such an enjoyable experience that he had to dive in and do something bigger. Yule Log was an idea that came after seeing one too many “making ofs”.
His third film Ward D is a departure in both style and substance from the first two.
He has a B.A. in Theater from UMASS/Amherst.
