What is 'PTS aware' filmmaking?
People who live with schizophrenia often have experienced some really tough stuff growing up (this is also known as complex-trauma stress). Schizy Inc takes great care in creating cultural spaces that give people a great night out, as well as supporting new art. We respect the reality of triggers. If you want to make a film that features gnarly story, we'll put it on the Mojo Youtube page but it won't be screened at the Gala Night.
