"Violence on the TTC. Syringes in back alleys. Homeless people sleeping in our subway stations." In a long essay, I write on how we got here, the temptation of rebalancing patients' rights & a way forward for those with severe mental illness. CAMH theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Dr. David Gratzer ( @davidgratzer ) is the Chief of Adult Psychiatry at CAMH. A couple years ago he delivered a talk at the premiere of my short film Parlour Palm. He wrote a brilliant piece in the Globe today, a thorough account of our municipal mental health crisis.

Next week, Kazik Radwanski's MATT AND MARA, starring Deragh Campbell and Matt Johnson, will make its world premiere Berlinale. And a year and a half ago, I was lucky enough to visit the "set" of this wonderfully itchy, explicitly Toronto anti-meet-cute. theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/arti…

"The problem is visible. It's in our streetcars & buses, our subways..." More people are chronically homeless than ever. Who are they? What are their psychiatric problems? How to help? I discuss with Dr. Vicky Stergiopoulos (of CAMH) on this podcast. camh.ca/en/professiona…

Looking forward to this!!!

I've known Rebeccah Love (Rebeccah Love) almost ten years. Seeing her first feature Fortescue, it was like a culmination of all of her previous shorts, and offered new ideas for where she'll go next. One of the most stimulating films I've seen recently. torontofilmreview.blogspot.com/2024/10/fortes…
