Together

Our film captivates the everyday high school student’s mental health concerns relating to the inability to share their struggles with others. Our film follows a high school student who struggles with anxiety and insecurities on a daily basis. This student feels like they can talk to no one when it comes to their feelings even if it’s their friends. Through our film we explore the difficulties of being trapped in one’s own mind and how sharing those bottled up emotions with others can be liberating. As high school students, we wanted to bring light to the stressful high school environment in which many experience pressure, anxiety, and stress without being able to express or share it with others. Over time those emotions can affect one’s mental health as it amplifies in one’s mind. We felt it was essential to fully visualize what it feels like to be in someone else’s mind when struggling as it is often times overlooked.
