Amazing Grace: Single Mother, Adult Son with Schizophrenia, Award-Winning Short Film (Ep. 103)

Описание: Guest: Aiden Keltner, Filmmaker

Based on the true stories of many families, Amazing Grace tells the story of a single mother caring for her adult son with schizophrenia.

Aiden Keltner is the filmmaker, and did some of his research in focus groups gathered by Randye and Mindy, and is a treasured friend of this podcast.

Amazing Grace is a three time Emmy Award recipient (NATAS PSW) for Best Arts/Entertainment Program, Best Director and Best Performer (Deborah Gilmore Smyth).


Aiden's focus as a filmmaker, is on telling underrepresented stories from the mental health community. Aiden has been inspired by his own lived experience with close family members diagnosed with serious mental illnesses. Currently, he is developing different feature films on this subject.
