"Different Kind of Sick" follows six-year-old Lily as she navigates a series of overwhelming changes, a new home, a new school, and her birthday. When she unexpectedly witnesses her parents argue in the middle of the night, Lily senses that something is wrong. Determined to understand what is being hidden from her, she begins to seek the truth. What she uncovers is an uncomfortable reality that places an emotional weight far heavier than she anticipated. Told entirely from Lily’s perspective, the film offers an intimate exploration of how an invisible illness can quietly affect not only the individual, but those who love them.
Written, directed and produced by Nightingale, "Different Kind of Sick" was created to open conversations about mental health with audiences who may not yet have the language to name it. Grounded in lived experience, the film emphasizes that mental health is relational, extending its impact beyond one person.
Director: Nightingale
Producers: Andy Wong, Nightingale
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
I was inspired by my friend’s account of her childhood and reflecting on our upbringing. Our parents meant well by not speaking about mental health to their children. Growing up, I did not know about the term, “mental health” until high school. The more I learned and opened up about mental health, I saw how I was not alone in this feeling. Perhaps the cycle of not speaking up about our problems ends with us. I truly hope it does.
It was a joy to work with crew members who wanted to work on this film and who have opened up about how this story resonated with them. Working with my performers was such a joy. Especially to cast Vietnamese Canadian performers in roles where we are telling a mental health story. This was extra special to me. I thank each and every person who wanted to be on this project and the incredible support of the Canada Council For The Arts. Thank you for believing in this story.
I hope this film can help others rethink mental health and who it unknowingly affects.
