Experiencing Interruptions?

I Could Try To Carry On

Based on my blank verse poem 'Bruised Battered and Bullied' , this movie follows a young teen coming to terms with online and offline bullying on a daily basis, as well as the harrowing after effects of the same on her psyche. The movie transitions between monochrome and coloured visuals to tell this story.
