The Schizophrenic Dialogues Short Film
The Schizophrenic Dialogues Short Film was released today!
The Schizophrenic Dialogues is a collection of memoirs on the first-hand experience of schizophrenia told through the lens of the actual dialogue between a person with schizophrenia and her auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations. These accounts and their accompanying commentary represent the reality of people with schizophrenia in society and within themselves. The Dialogues shed light on the lives built to harness a stigmatized condition as a positive, and live in defiance of a "grave" prognosis.
Vita Rhie Quintanilla is the author of The Schizophrenic Dialogues, Writer and Frontwoman of Salvation Day and cofounder of Sacred Art Productions.
