Outsider, a 40 minute award-winning documentary, addresses both the tragedy and redemption that can result from mental illness. This complex landscape becomes personal as we learn about Maury Ornest, whose life encompassed baseball, schizoaffective disorder, and art.
After Maury Ornest’s death at age 58, his sister Laura discovered more than 1,400 paintings in every room of his home and secret storage units, a discovery which set her on an unexpected journey. Outsider presents a rarely seen, unvarnished view of a family’s journey with mental illness and captures the surprising ways they found connection.
