“That Way Madness Lies..." is a feature-length documentary about my brother Duanne Luckow’s mental decline into severe paranoid schizophrenia, and the dynamics and destruction of a family where creative chaos was prized. The film uses first-person iPhone video of Duanne’s psychosis as the backbone of the film’s narrative. Interviews and verite moments with family, first-responders, legal experts, and mental health professionals are the connective tissue that weave the story together.

How you can Help
Getting the film to the post-production finish-line is one thing. Not to diminish that accomplishment, but it must be acknowledged that it is only the first (and, perhaps, easier) step. Now it is about making sure that the audience who sees it grows exponentially with each viewing and the demand to repair the mental health systems grows from a whisper to a roar. This takes imagination and resources, planning and strategy.
We are applying to festivals, but there is a huge ‘non-industry” audience that needs to see this film. We want it shown on Capitol Hill. If you know of places and organizations that would also like to have a screening, we will work with you. If you want to donate resources so that we can bring the film to your area, we will work with you. This is quintessential grass-root activism. Join us!!
