CRAZY is about the dismissal of emotional expression as “psycho bitch behavior.” It’s about exploring the social stigmas relating to female mental illness. But every shadow has a source of light. On the brighter side of this dark crystal, the label of crazy is often the mark of a freethinking woman!
