Story
Mental Health has been a brushed under the carpet topic for so many years, the stigma has been getting less over the years but it still is a very hushed up topic, especially among adolescents who rather not talk about their feelings. From my own suffering of depression, self harm and suicide I want to make a change. I have written a film surrounding these topics as well as eating disorders and anxiety. The main aim of the film is to be realistic, we aren't being dramatic, standing over a sink and cutting just doesn't tend to happen. This film is based on experiences that I have had and close friends have had. The films other aim is to show that suffers tend to brush it under the carpet by replying to people with 'fine' and saying their true feelings in their head; we want to show people that this is the case! We are in need of a budget however, your money will help make the film reach higher targets with better equipment, etc. Help us break the stigma, you will be credited for your donations, as little as a £1 could make this reach the biggest of audiences.
