As someone who has struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder his whole life but has been disappointed with how it’s portrayed in film and TV, director Christopher Macken is hoping to change the perception of OCD in his film For the Safety of Theo.
Most people don’t realize how painful living with OCD can be, not only for the people overrun by their compulsions, but for the people around them—specifically in their sexual and romantic relationships.
Christopher Macken says, “I hope this film takes the stereotypical “fun-quirkiness” out of this disorder and shows just how painful it can get for the person suffering. I also hope to bring awareness to how a person with OCD, lost in their active compulsions, affects the people around them, whether that be their friends and family, or in this case, a one-night stand.”
The film stars Irish Actor Darragh O’Toole, whose recent screen credits include the role of Romus in the Apple TV+ series FOUNDATION and the role of Liam in BBC/HBO series PEAKY BLINDERS.
World premiere and next screening will be at DANCES WITH FILMS in Los Angeles, CA on SATURDAY, JUNE 24th at 2:45 PM at the world-famous TCL CHINESE THEATER on Hollywood Blvd.
