Experiencing Interruptions?

Soundly Secured.

"Soundly Secured." is an interpretive short film about mental health and the reality of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts that have occurred in my life. More importantly, I created this to help someone else out there who is feeling alone in the harsh reality of mental disorders. I am with you and I support you.

Director Statement

Hi there,
My name is Alex and this is the first short film I am submitting to a formal film festival. I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to watch my work. I put my heart and soul into this project. I believe young people like me are not using their voices to break the stigma against mental health, and "Soundly Secured." is my effort to do so. Thank you so much!
