137. How a Film Director Used OCD as Fuel: The Story Behind the Film PURE O

🧠 Episode Summary: What if your own mind was the biggest mystery you ever had to solve?

In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova sits down with writer and director Dillon Tucker, creator of the narrative feature film PURE O. Diagnosed with OCD himself, Dillon shares how the chaos, fear, and obsessive spirals of his own mind became the raw material for a deeply personal and groundbreaking movie. Together, they explore the power of storytelling to humanize OCD, break stigma, and reach those silently suffering.

This isn’t just a film—it’s a lifeline for people who feel misunderstood, unseen, and trapped in their own thoughts. Because sometimes the most healing thing we can do… is turn pain into art.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• How turning OCD pain into art can be healing for you and others • Why films like PURE O matter in breaking OCD stigma • What makes OCD storytelling different from typical mental health narratives • How OCD can be reframed as a superpower through creativity and advocacy
