Crooked Beauty (2010, 30 minutes)
This internationally acclaimed poetic documentary 
chronicles artist-activist Jacks McNamara's 
transformative journey from psych ward inpatient 
to pioneering mental health advocacy. It is an 
intimate portrait of her intense personal quest 
to live with courage and dignity, and a powerful 
critique of standard psychiatric treatments. 
Poignant testimonials connect the fissures and 
fault lines of human nature to the unstable 
topography and mercurial weather patterns of the 
San Francisco Bay Area.

In Light, In! (2013, 12 minutes)
A haunting, visual essay about the awkward and 
angry junctures where our culture struggles to 
manage its emotional distress. Images recycled 
from 1950's-era educational films are accompanied 
by original compositions by world-renowned 
cellist, Zoe Keating.

And followed by an additional treat, an excerpt of a work in progress.

Director Bio
Ken Paul Rosenthal is a cinema artist and mental 
health advocate whose current work explores the 
geography of madness through the regenerative 
power of nature, urban landscapes, home movies, 
and archival footage from social hygiene films. 
His films are visually sensual, emotionally 
intelligent works of art that also function as 
tools for personal and societal transformation. 
His films, Crooked Beauty and In Light, In! have

person at dozens of peer support networks, 
universities, mental health symposium and
