Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Thirty years after his career as a budding filmmaker was stalled by mental illness, Bud Clayman picks up a camera to direct this autobiographical documentary exploring his ongoing struggle with OCD and Asperger's syndrome. Interviews with actors and radio personalities contending with bipolar disorder and OCD reveal just how difficult it can be to function with a mental illness, and a look into Bud's thought process offers a hopeful perspective at the recovery process. Later, after trying his luck at speed dating, Bud picks up a camera to shoot a mini-epic about the dueling aspects of his personality.
