I am pleased to share with you a remarkable narrative short film called Petals of a Rose. Given that DID has often been inaccurately and negatively portrayed in film/television, Dylan Crumpler created his senior thesis film at Chapman University in California to realistically depict the life of a woman with DID. Dylan wrote the screenplay with his mother, Holly Crumpler, who has DID, and then developed it into a film.
Since its public release in February after being screened at An Infinite Mind’s Healing Together Conference, the film has received positive reviews from around the world. Many systems with DID who have watched the film expressed that they have felt seen and understood for the first time in their lives.
After viewing the film, our Friday Keynote Speaker for the Plural Positivity World Conference (PPWC), Dr. Jamie Marich, proclaimed: “Petals of a Rose is currently the best educational film that we have available to educate professionals and the general public about dissociative identities.”
