Project 15
"Project 15" is an artistic expression of what it feels like to live with depression based on a true story. It follows a high school girl as she navigates through her depression and suicidal thoughts. This is a film I wanted to create to raise awareness about living with depression, bipolar, anxiety, and other mental illnesses in a busy, urban society. The entire film is created so that it is partly ambiguous, in particular the ending, where it is unclear what happens to the protagonist. It is my aim to encourage others to reach out and check in on each other.
