Canvas

Canvas is a 2006 drama film written and directed by Joseph Greco about a Florida family dealing with a mother who has schizophrenia. The film premiered October 2006 at the Hamptons International Film Festival in New York. Greco said the film was inspired from his childhood experiences with a schizophrenic mother.

Plot

Ten-year-old Chris Marino returns home after a brief stay with relatives, which was necessitated by the condition of his mother, Mary, who suffers from schizophrenia. At home, Mary's condition worsens, and her delusions and paranoia invite neighborhood contempt and result in visits from the police. When Mary is institutionalized after the failure of her medication, Chris is left with his father, John, who has retreated into building a boat in the family driveway.
