Discover the extraordinary story of Vancouver-born Maury Ornest in the award-winning 40 minute documentary, OUTSIDER.

Date: January 19, 2025
Location: The Roundhouse Community Centre (Theatre)
Time: 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM

From baseball prodigy to hidden artistic genius, Maury Ornest’s life was as vibrant as the 1,400 paintings and journals he left behind. After an injury dashed his sports dreams, Maury faced the profound challenge of living with schizoaffective disorder, marked by a psychotic break in his early twenties. He embarked on a deeply personal journey of art and emotion, a world he kept private until his passing at 58.

Join us for OUTSIDER, a moving exploration of mental health, family resilience, and the transformative power of creativity. Featuring Laura Ornest’s story of love and support for her younger brother and journals narrated by Gary Gulman, this event is not to be missed.
