The Celebration

Someone Loves You
Director: Victoria Perry, Amanda Mandii
Country: United States, Running TIme: 20 min
Someone Loves You was written over the course of a few years, every Thursday night on Zoom, as a means for cathartic release from built up childhood trauma and a shared understanding of what it means to break away from co-dependent relationships with those who we love the most. The subject matter is inspired by true events and experience with loving and humanizing family members who live with schizophrenia and other challenges. We both come from ethnic backgrounds and communities that tend to silence mental health and treat it as taboo. As millennial and first-generation Americans, we are examining the different responses to mental health within the first-generation immigrant family dynamic. We have found that in focusing on one Jamaican household facing this diagnosis, we are opening up a much-needed universal conversation about schizophrenia and the humanity of those facing it.
