June 16, 2024. We are still working hard toward funding the full 10 episode limited series. While we are at it, though, we are getting back to our roots a little bit. Paula (our President, CEO, and founder) started as a writer... as in books before scripts... and Out of Touch started as a book.

We've recently received a small grant to rework the A/V series into a 10-episode full cast audio drama (30 minutes or so each episode) and we are so excited to keep working on our story! Thank you for your continued support! Stay tuned for how you can help and where you can find our story across multiple formats!

Out of Touch is an independently produced, made for TV, limited series that takes place in the fictional Cape Fear Regional Hospital Behavioral Health Unit. In this dramedy series, new nurse Ally Russell makes her way through the dramatic, political, tragically and hilariously red-taped world of psychiatric nursing... making new friends, foes, and plenty of mistakes along the way.

Who We Are

The "Out of Touch" team is a team of advocates. With the core belief that mental health matters, and that entertainment can be used to create change in failing systems, our goal is to entertain, educate and advocate through this production with purpose. Out of Touch isn't our story, though. It is a combination of the true stories of real people who have received and provided mental health care. These are the stories that need to be told and the circumstances that need to be understood to plant the seeds of change.
