Director Statement
Mental illness remains a taboo topic that demands greater awareness beyond traditional Public Service Announcements, documentaries, and heavy handed dramas. The producers of Tics have all been personally impacted by mental illness.
The expectation is that our unique take on the topic will not only entertain but create a new audience - one not otherwise enlightened - and drive greater awareness for change.
