Katharine O'Brien talks about her first feature film, LOST TRANSMISSIONS. Inspired by actual events, LOST TRANSMISSIONS tells the personal story of one of O'Brien's friends, a person with schizophrenia, who stopped taking his medication and became delusional and unable to take care of himself. The film shines a light on the devastating impact mental illness can have on family and friends, and the reality of treating mental illness in a system that doesn't seem equipped to deal with it.
