Heartbeat
A woman battling mental health issues attempts suicide, but with every attempt, she is interrupted by an uninvited guest. "Heartbeat" sends a message of hope and survival while providing an inside look into the mind of a person's mental fight. This short film speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves- those in a battle and those who lost their voice. The film is a survival story- survival from mental illness and a presentation of how deadly it can be.
