A raw, cinematic nonfiction work told entirely through live performance centered around mental health.
BY: CHRYSSIE WHITEHEAD
Broadway and screen actor Chryssie Whitehead (Broadway’s Chicago, A Chorus Line Revival and West Side Story Film) confronts a diagnosis by stepping into herself—literally. Using her own voice, body, and story, she unpacks decades of family secrets, societal stigma, and inherited trauma.
Through movement, stillness, and emotionally charged text… She rewrites the silence around mental illness and survival—not with reenactment, but with presence.
More than a personal reckoning…
IN MY OWN LITTLE CORNER is a cinematic act of testimony.
Performance becomes truth.
Vulnerability becomes craft.
healing becomes the film’s form.
Mission:
Open up conversations about mental health
Now submitting to film festivals and pitching for global distribution with hopes to increase access to more hearts worldwide.
Whitehead’s genuine and brave storytelling leaves an INVITATION for viewers to feel less alone and, perhaps, see themselvEs SOMEWHERE in her story.
