The team behind Schizy Inc.

Heidi Everett - 'It's not enough we have to go through a mental illness, we also have to survive the psychiatric system. Those of us who already know mental illness & recovery, have a responsibility to make the road clear for those yet to come along' (Schizy founder/director)

Helen Morris - committee, project management, reconnaissance, investigation, secretary, motivator. Likes Lindt chocolate the most.

Ross Crawford - 'Sound Techspert'; Sponsor Mojo Film Festival patron. A big fan of LEGO.

Rohan Forster - 'Mental illness is often put away and hidden from view, those afflicted remain unearthed treasures. Let's not hide anymore. Let's have a treasure hunt and seek out the wealth within those who are challenged..it's not too far from the surface'

Sandy Jeffs - Sandy has lived with schizophrenia and all its moods for over 40 years. Sandy is the author of bestselling books featuring her poetry 'from the madhouse' and is a hockey devotee.

Steph Y. "Being able to take part in creative storytelling has been crucial to my lived experience journey, and I want others to have the same opportunity"

Michel Tuomy "A large part of recovery is remembering that people care"

Duncan Cameron "Live the life you want to, not the life they want you to. Decide your own destiny - no one else is qualified"

Raphael Kaleb The Dream Police said Say Goodbye To Hollywood. I wasn't Listening.  I replied "Lets See Action instead because I'm  An Individual with Dreams of Fame."
