Pure O, a form of Ocd where one isn’t concerned with physical compulsions but with one’s own awful intrusive thoughts, Pure O stands for purely obsessional, and the person experiencing this might lose their mind over thoughts of killing their partner, causing a car accident, convincing themselves they have cancer, and all kinds of nightmarish fantasies. The director of Pure O, Dillon Tucker, has first-hand experience of surviving Pure O and decided to write and direct a story that truly resonates with people who actually suffer from Ocd. Tucker’s movie leaves a sweet aftertaste while also emphasizing the fact that laying yourself bare and vulnerable can be a scary experience.

Actor, filmmaker and musician Dillon Tucker makes his feature début with the autobiographical narrative feature, Pure O, that takes the audience inside the complicated and debilitating reality of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Ocd).
Cooper Ganz (Daniel Dorr) believes he’s suffering from depression, but then his therapist diagnoses him as suffering with the Pure Obsessional form of Ocd. It impacts his personal and professional life, but through group therapy and continuing his work as a drug rehab counsellor, he discovers value in human connections.
In conversation with Eye For Film, ahead of the world premiere at SXSW, Tucker discussed the musical nature of film, and Hitchcock’s mastery of psychology and technical manipulation. He also spoke about the masculine point of view and mental health, and his desire to create a broad thematic reflection on human nature.

Pure O follows the story of Cooper (Daniel Dorr), an aspiring screenwriter who struggles with a lesser-known form of Ocd known as Pure O. Writer and director Dillon Tucker played Brian in the film.
The film is set to premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 13 in the Narrative Feature competition.
In an exclusive interview with uInterview founder Erik Meers, Tucker explained why he wanted to write and direct the story.
“Well, it’s a very semi-autobiographical story about my own life and I wrote it pretty quickly because I didn’t want to write about my life probably like eight years ago or something like that and I didn’t want to write it when I was going through things, I wanted to wait until I was passed everything and processed it, but I didn’t want to wait until I kind of...
