Millions of Americans show signs and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in varying degrees. In the film industry, it’s frequently portrayed in a comedic sense of someone with this mental illness repetitively performing certain habits.

In the narrative film Pure O, Dillon Tucker turned his real-life OCD experiences to tell a story of a man through his own OCD battles and trying to seek help as a result.

Here is the synopsis:

In Pure O, a rehab counselor questions his sanity when he is diagnosed with a crippling form of OCD known as Pure Obsessional. With the help of his friends, a therapy group, and his addiction recovery clients, he discovers the life-affirming power of community in order to fight through the darkest moment of his life.

The film stars Daniel Dorr (20^th Century Woman), Hope Lauren (The CW’s The Republic of Sarah), Landry Bender (Best Friends Whenever, Hulu’s Looking For Alaska), and Jeffrey A. Baker.
