After Maury Ornest's death at the age of 58, his sister Laura found more than 1400 paintings and thousands of pages of sketchbooks and journals in every room of his home and storage units. This discovery set her on an unexpected journey. When they were children, their family lived a dream centered around baseball--fueled by Maury's natural talent and progress as he strove to make the major leagues. Yet when he experienced a psychotic break in his early 20s, it dashed any hope for success and left Maury fighting to maintain a semblance of his former existence. OUTSIDER tells two braided stories of a single family: How Laura set out to help Maury, attempting to hold their family together in the face of Maury's self-destructive actions and eventual withdrawal from their world, and Maury's story, discovered in his vibrant, wild art and intimate journal writings, read by author and comedian Gary Gulman. OUTSIDER presents a rarely seen, unvarnished view of a family's painful journey with severe mental illness and captures the unexpected ways they found connection.
