Director Statement

I wrote, directed and financed the animation short (Courage) because its something I was looking forward to see.

Depression is a serious case that needs consistent awareness specially about how painful it is to the depressed person.

I chose to express this in an animation category to be able to showcase my imagination using a wider variety of tools and because animation market is growing and the youth category that suffer the most from depression will interact more with this category of content.
