“Every face hides a story.” Writer-director-star Nadine Crocker’s tour-de-force of confessional filmmaking dissects mental health struggles with the raw authenticity of a true survivor. Convinced she’s fated to walk the same troubled path as her father, Dean (Nadine Crocker) suffers a major mental health episode and is committed to a rehabilitation facility. Once confined, Dean shudders through the agonies of recovery, and bravely comes out the other side armed with a defense against the darkness, summed up in one word: Continue. Continue is both written and directed by American actress / filmmaker Nadine Crocker, who made her feature directorial debut with this movie first, before going on to make Desperation Road after. Produced by Anthony Caravella, Nadine Crocker, Jay Seals. This initially premiered at the 2022 Cinequest Film Festival a few years ago, but hasn’t been given a proper release until now.
