Jon Wolfman, Bud Clayman’s teacher from the 1970s who appears in OC87, authored the article “Bud Clayman: An Extreme Makeover” and a reflection called “Blindsided” about “The Benefits and Pain of Being Confronted by a Former Student.” Jon’s writing can be found on Amazon in the collection Passionate Justice: A Progressive Memoir in Essays.
Soon after college, mental illness interrupted Bud Clayman’s dreams of a filmmaking career. Thirty years later, he’s made the movie of his life. After making this documentary, Bud founded the website Recovery Diaries, which expands on that story by allowing others to share their own stories of mental health, empowerment, and change.
