I lost a friend to a troubled teen program — Casa by the Sea. She’s still alive, but she is alone, unhoused, deeply mentally ill, and repeatedly in jail.

I believe that school made her mentally ill. And she’s one of many who have been affected by these schools.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.
