Since September of 2006 the Mental Health Association of Portland has brought the community’s attention to the death and life of James Chasse.

This long effort is culminating in the production of a much-anticipated documentary film, Alien Boy: the Death and Life of James Chasse.

The film is beginning post-production NOW and is expected to be ready for festival release in the late Spring.
