It wants to take over the family's life and so you kinda have to involve the whole family together.

So it took a lot.

Uh I have uh my oldest daughter who has O C D and I have a younger daughter.

Um she was affected greatly by not only

my daughter's issues but their relationship changed and our relationship changed.

So there was a lot of stuff we had to deal with.

And the one of the first parents to come to our parent support group was Kelly Anderson, who is a filmmaker.

Right now she's Dean of Media Studies at Hunter College.

Uh and it's like the five minutes after I met Kelly, she was like, I'm a filmmaker, I know there's a film in us in the in this issue, I just don't know what it is yet.

And it took a little while.

Uh our kids end up going to the same um O C D camp later that summer.

And one day they were coming home in the car ride and they were um my daughter Vanessa and her daughter were having a very kind of adult discussion about their issues and

things that they've lost and what things they've gotten over and how it works.

And the idea just hit Kelly of we're just gonna these kids know what they're talking about.

They're knowledgeable.

They're educated.

We're just gonna sit 'em down and we're gonna talk to them about O C D and we're gonna get their impressions and create a film that allows people to see the journey from how it affected me to how it affected my family to how therapy works.

And at the time there really wasn't any media and um or any film that kind of described that and gave parents and kids, you know, an idea of A, there's other people like me, and B, there's a path to kind of get from a bad place to a good place.

and we didn't want to show kids being sensationalized.

It was just a you know, they're talking from a a position of empowerment and education.
