“Would you listen?”
This is an abstract film about mental health. We wanted to try and illustrate how this issue impacts individuals and how many times they struggle in silence. Mental health issues are something that can affect anyone, it does not discriminate. And yet many people do not receive or seek out the support they need. We wanted to comment on the importance of this issue.
I wrote and performed the spoken word piece in this film.
Thank you for watching.
