Raising awareness and fighting stigma
Despite affecting millions in the U.S., obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is widely misunderstood — especially in its lesser-known forms. An Unquiet Mind is a portrait documentary that shares the stories of Natasha and Vinay, both living with highly stigmatized types of OCD. The filmmakers needed a clear, thoughtful digital presence to match the film’s emotional depth and support its mission of destigmatization. The challenge was to create messaging and visuals that were honest, empathetic, and inviting — without overwhelming or sanitizing the subject.
Shedding Light on a Hidden Illness
Christian, the Solace Media team, and I collaborated closely with Rachel, Kovid, Natasha, and the rest of their amazing crew to develop a cohesive brand and outreach strategy. We designed the full visual identity, messaging, posters, and custom website to equip the team for festival launches, community screenings, and advocacy work.
An Unquiet Mind made its debut at ReelAbilities Film Festival in NYC, where it won Best Director. The digital tools and messaging helped launch the film with clarity and impact, creating new opportunities to raise awareness, spark dialogue, and build a movement of support around underdiagnosed and often-misunderstood forms of OCD.
