Hollow

As we grow through the stages of adolescence experiencing the thrills of a new world, we truly disappoint our younger selves that dreamed of being strong and brave. Exhausted by the anxieties of adulthood, we crave the nourishment of the meals we would receive as children bringing fulfilment, instead left hollow by the scraps we make for ourselves. This film delves into a visceral experience, touching on mental health, insecurities and acceptance.
