Abstract
In what may be the first documentary photographed and directed by someone with schizophrenia, John Cadigan details his descent into mental illness and the extreme challenges he has experienced as a result. Describing the psychotic breakdown that occurred during his senior year of college, Cadigan relates his subsequent journey: how he dropped out, cycled through a number of drugs and doctors, and finally decided to film his agonizing battle with mental illness. Cadigan invites viewers to tour the world inside his mind—a chaotic, paranoid, and creative universe in which he struggles to know what is real and what is not. As viewers watch his fight to build a fulfilling and meaningful life—and learn how schizophrenia has bound the filmmaker and his family closer together—the pain and ultimate triumph of his struggle become clear.
