In early May, OC87 participated in a behavioral health film festival at a prominent national mental health conference. Occurring in sunny San Diego over four days, the conference was the annual gathering of the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare Providers. NCCBH is comprised of over 1,800 mental health providers that serve children, adolescents, and adults. Nearly 100 mental health professionals watched OC87, then participated in a lively Q&A session with OC87 filmmaker/subject Bud Clayman. The OC87 directing team (Bud, Glenn Holsten, and Scott Johnston) enjoyed this conference, highlights of which included a talk by President Bill Clinton, and spending some time with fellow filmmakers Delaney Ruston, MD (“Unlisted: the Story of Schizophrenia”), and Jan Haakens, PhD (“Guilty Except for Insanity”).
