Billy

Billy is a film buff who films himself non-stop. During a film shoot, he meets Lawrence Côté-Collins and the two become friends. One night, he assaults her. Years later, in prison for the deaths of two people, Billy is diagnosed with schizophrenia. With the help of Lawrence, his only remaining relationship apart from his family, his personal archives become an invaluable resource for understanding his illness. Their epistolary prison friendship tells their stories and reconstructs themselves through intimate correspondence and unseen video archives. A formal deconstruction of schizophrenia through a remarkably open-minded gaze.
