Holly Chadwick was raised by her grandparents on Whidbey Island. They believed in rigorous music studies to overcome the trauma of having parents with mental illness. Though she didn’t become a concert pianist, she has directed short movies, documentaries and now the web series, the Sounds of Freedom. She earned a B.A. in Film and Digital Media from the University of California, Santa Cruz and has studied fine art and digital media as far away as Italy and The Banff Centre in Alberta Canada. At the age of 16, Holly was a key member in a successful Internet start up and went on to working for fine art and newspaper publishing companies and designing for advertising. She was a member of Americorps for two years where she helped kids learn to read and taught digital photography in her local community. Holly has worked in a darkroom developing crime scene photos, had a father with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the inspiration for Sounds of Freedom. She is also working on a book featuring her mother, mental illness, and herself called Music in My Head. As an award winning writer/director, Holly also has the unique experience of being a patient in a mental health ward of Skagit Valley Hospital after having an extreme grief reaction to her grandparents’ death. She writes about her experience in chapter three, “From Straitjacket Bound to Success” in the internationally best selling book Wild and Wise Women Around the World. Raised by her grandparents from birth because she had a mother with schizophrenia, she saw her mother in and out of the Washington mental health system over the years. Because of this, Holly has made it her mission to not only create stories that show empathy around mental health issues, but through technology, aid in patient support. Holly resides in Northern Georgia with her husband and two large dogs. She enjoys kayaking, sailing, playing piano, photography and off-roading adventures.
