Hello Jeffrey,
Funny, I just finished a short film script promoting mental illnesses/health in the style of a comedy. I would be very happy to talk to you about the project. Please let me know if this may interest you!
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Jeffrey, lovely to meet you! Welcome to Stage 32.
My mother worked for 30 years in a Russian psychiatric hospital. It is a pity that there are so few films in the world showing the work of medical personnel in psychiatric hospitals. This is a difficult and dangerous job, but because of medical secrecy, it is difficult to write truthful scripts. Although working in the emergency department is more difficult than working in the ambulance. Because the doctor first has to separate the mentally ill from ordinary patients. who, without rapid treatment, may die.
