Crazy Art is a 58-minute 2010 documentary directed by Justin Rowe of 10 Toes Over Productions. The film features three artists diagnosed with schizophrenia: Rodger Casier, Leslie Grogan, and Trinaty Wakefield. The film is produced and narrated by J. T. Turner, who is also the executive director of Phoenix of Santa Barbara, a non-profit mental health agency in Santa Barbara, California. The film is set in Santa Barbara, California, where all three artists live and work, and includes segments in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, and the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

Crazy Art explores the role of art in the lives of the three artists, looking at how it helps them with their psychiatric recovery. The film follows their lifelong-struggle with mental illness and examines their search for identity, acceptance, and recovery through their unique and thought-provoking art. Framing the film is a look at van Gogh's psychiatric symptoms and his brilliant art.

The film was selected to be in the 2010 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where it was chosen as one of the top five audience favorites out of 200 films in the festival. 1 Writing in the Santa Barbara Independent, February 12, 2010, film critic Josef Woodard found that “Crazy Art offers a fascinating portrait of three art-devoted schizophrenics, Rodger Casier, Trinaty Lopez Wakefield, and Lesley Grogan, who use artistic expression as a means of therapy, quelling inner voices, and as a way of life. Guided by writer and narrator J.T. Turner (head of the mental health agency Phoenix of Santa Barbara), the artists speak articulately, openly, and movingly about their struggles, and about the possibility of transcendence — even if sometimes fleeting — through making and thinking about art.”2

Writing for SBCC Film Reviews, February 22, 2010, Lea Encarnacion, viewing the movie at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival says, “Crazy Art …follows three artists who battle mental illness and deal with living with schizophrenia. It examines their search for identity, acceptance, and recovery through their unique and thought provoking art. I found this film to be very honest and truly inspirational about living life with our conditions, whatever they may be. At this premiere, it received a standing ovation for the film. The director said at the Q&A that the purpose was “to show a human side to something people don’t really know about.” … What struck me in particular about this film was the deep connection the three artists had with their artwork – and with the process of creating, selling, exhibiting, and how it affects them and their mental wellbeing.” 3
