Award winning filmmaker, Jillian Bullock, who is in pre-production on a movie entitled, “A Cup Full of Crazy,” is a psychological thriller.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, February 3, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The movie focuses on mental illness and how there is a need to have honest conversation about the challenges people face. The U.S. Surgeon General has estimated that 450 million people worldwide suffer from mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc.

The premise of the story, which Jillian wrote and will direct in June, centers on the lead character Angela Rodriquez, who is a former MMA fighter and an award winning screenwriter.

She suffered a nervous breakdown a year ago and is now struggling with depression. However, with the help of her therapist, Angela is on the road to recovery. That’s until things Angela writes in her script about a serial killer starts to happen in real life. Someone is terrorizing Angela, so she thinks. Is he real or is Angela having another nervous breakdown?

Jillian has dealt with mental health issues in her past. Raped at age 10 and homeless at 15, where she was forced into a world of drugs and prostitution to survive, it was many years after enduring these horrific experiences when Jillian learned during therapy that she was suffering from PTSD and depression.

After years of therapy and working on herself through yoga, meditation, MMA, boxing and fitness, Jillian is in a much better place mentally. Understanding the complexity of people’s lives and the pain and struggles millions deal with daily, Jillian uses her skills as a filmmaker to tackle difficult subject matters that focus on contemporary and socially conscious issues in an effort to bring about change.
