The cast and crew are indebted to people of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital for research, advice and encouragement, especially Professor Stephen Lawrie, Head of Psychiatry at Edinburgh University, who explains:
?Schizophrenia is characterised by delusions and hallucinations. The arts, and film in particular, have a role in reducing the stigmatisation of mental illness and they provide opportunities for people to hear stories about mental illness in a way which corrects the myths and stereotypes people have about these conditions.?
