Get to know OCD

The Film That Captures How OCD Really Looks


Listen Later

Sam Sabawi joins the Get to Know OCD podcast to talk about his short film, For All I Know. The film centers on OCD. Its title reflects the kind of intrusive uncertainty that defines the disorder — the constant “for all I know…” spiral that turns ordinary thoughts into imagined catastrophes. While developing the film, Sam consulted with NOCD's Dr. Patrick McGrath, who even makes a cameo in the film.


When creating For All I Know, Sam was intentional about portraying the internal experience of OCD — the mental loops, the doubt, and the relentless uncertainty that rarely get shown accurately on big-name TV shows and Hollywood movies. Rather than focusing on stereotypes, the film aims to capture what OCD actually feels like from the inside. Sam is here to tell us about the entire film-making process and what he hopes audiences (with OCD or not) get out of watching it.
