Director Statement

“Mental health is a very important issue and my hope for this film is to inspire and motivate people to consider mental health a lot more deeply. The main message that permeates through this film is not to suffer in silence, it digs deep into the mind and experience of a young woman who manages to overcome her pain to the extent she is able to encourage and help others. Film for me has to have a message, it has to have meaning and it has to provide the audience with a platform to discuss, learn and share”.
