The traditional boundary between entertainment and academia is being dismantled by an ambitious new project from Bravery Pictures. Their latest psychological feature, Call Me Nothing, is not merely seeking box office success; it is positioning itself as a rigorous, hands-on learning environment for mental health professionals worldwide. By inviting psychiatrists, forensic psychologists, and trauma specialists to join its Clinical Review Board, the production is turning the act of film viewing into a verifiable continuing education (CE) opportunity.
This initiative, described by many early participants as a “blue-sky study,” allows clinicians to engage with a high-stakes narrative while fulfilling the practical requirements for license maintenance. In an era where media portrayals of mental illness are often criticized for inaccuracy, Call Me Nothing is setting a new standard by inviting the medical community to peer-review its portrayal of complex pathologies.
A New Paradigm for Continuing Education (CE)
For most clinicians, earning Continuing Education (CE) or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours involves dry seminars or repetitive online modules. Bravery Pictures is offering a more visceral alternative. The program is structured to map directly onto the self-directed learning and pro-bono consultation requirements mandated by many global licensing boards.
Why the medical community is responding with such enthusiasm:
- Clinical Authenticity over Sensationalism: The film is “picture-locked,” meaning the visuals are final. Clinicians aren’t just giving creative notes; they are reviewing a completed diagnostic environment to see if the “internal architecture” of the protagonist holds up under the lens of the DSM-5 and ICD-11.
- Documentation for Licensing: This isn’t just a “thank you” credit. The program provides a structured plan, measurable hours of engagement, and a formal signed certificate—the exact documentation required for annual license renewals.
- Global Collaborative Network: The Review Board isn’t an isolated effort. Experts from North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America are comparing notes, creating a cross-cultural consensus on how trauma-driven psychosis is understood and depicted.
- Educational Legacy: The feedback gathered won’t just sit in a file. It will be anonymized and aggregated into a comprehensive Consensus Report intended for use in university grand rounds and trauma-informed training programs.
The Case Study: The Fractured Mind of Amaris Everheart
At the heart of the film—and the clinical review—is the character of Amaris Everheart. Unlike many films that focus on the “spectacle” of a crime, Call Me Nothing chooses to examine the aftermath. Amaris is a woman whose childhood was defined by a kidnapping; as an adult, her mind has rebuilt itself through a complex lattice of fractured memory, internal voices, and command hallucinations.
Participating clinicians are tasked with reviewing the film alongside a fictionalized clinical dossier and “recovered” cassette-tape transcripts. The goal is to determine if the portrayal of her dissociation and psychosis is clinically consistent. By treating the protagonist as a “virtual patient,” the project becomes a unique training tool for identifying the nuances of trauma-driven survival mechanisms.
Pathways to Participation
To accommodate the varying schedules and interests of the medical community, Bravery Pictures has established a three-tiered participation structure. Each level offers a different depth of involvement and professional recognition:
| Tier | Designation | Clinical Scope | Professional Benefits |
| Tier 1 | Associate | Review the first 30 minutes; complete a DSM-5/ICD-11 diagnostic checklist. | Certificate of participation and on-screen film credit. |
| Tier 2 | Consultant | Private full-feature screener; full script access; advanced evaluation tools. | Premium on-screen credit and official IMDb listing. |
| Tier 3 | Brand Partner | Deep strategic partnership and priority visibility (limited availability). | Option to voice a consulting doctor within the film’s diegetic audio. |
Note on Ethics: All participation is governed by strict confidentiality. While the dossier is inspired by real-world psychological phenomena, it is a fictionalized construct. No real patient records are used, and all participants must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect the film’s pre-release integrity.
The Impact on Forensic and Neuropsychiatric Training
The roster of those already signed up reads like a “who’s who” of the forensic world: senior forensic consultants, child protection specialists, and neuropsychiatrists. Their goal is to ensure that the film serves as a bridge between the clinical office and the public’s understanding of mental health.
By participating, these experts are ensuring that Call Me Nothing doesn’t just entertain, but educates. The resulting Consensus Report will provide a rare look at how a diverse group of experts interprets the same “patient” (Amaris), offering a fascinating look at diagnostic variability and agreement in the field of trauma.
How to Register
Spots for the pre-release review cycle are strictly limited to ensure the quality of the aggregated report. Clinicians interested in a unique, CE-friendly experience that blends the art of cinema with the rigor of clinical science are encouraged to apply via the Call Me Nothing Clinical Review portal.
