While there are no shortage of celebrities and famous faces taking over Park City, Utah this week for the Sundance Film Festival it was mental health that snatched the spotlight during the Project Blackbird Panel over the weekend.

Project Blackbird which is a non-profit created to aid in de-stigmatizing eating disorders and mental health conversations within underrepresented communities officially partnered with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) for a special “Mental Health in Film” Panel at Sundance Film Festival that brought out celebrity guests including Lux Pascal and Dewayne Perkins. The purpose of the event was to explore themes of mental health and do a deep dive into the power of narrative film as a medium to explore and represent all communities.
