I'm Still Here: The Truth About Schizophrenia is a documentary film about schizophrenia.[1] This 65-minute, black-and-white film was written and directed by Robert Bilheimer.[2] Bilheimer began working on the film soon after being nominated for an Academy Award for the film The Cry of Reason: Beyers Naude – An Afrikaner Speaks Out.[3] Psychiatrist Stephen Mark Goldfinger cowrote the film.[4]

The National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression aided in the film's production,[5] which was complete by 1992, despite the film not being released until 1996.[6] The following year, a VHS recording of the film was distributed by Wheeler Communications.[7] Susan Gingerich appears in the film,[8] as does Fredrick J. Frese.[9] A National Health Service Corps reviewer called the film "extraordinarily moving."[10]
