Director Statement

The original idea of The Pieces of Guitar came from my personal experiences during a particular period in 2021. At that time, depression and numbness really hit me, and I can't enjoy doing most activities excluding music. I reached a point where I felt so low and I thought about destroying the guitar in my room. It was a really bad moment, but it made me think about my mental health in a different way. So through this film, I want to deliver a profound impact that mental health can have on individuals, particularly young people navigating the pressures of college life. Based on my own personal struggles, I feel like mental health really matters for everybody. I really hope this story related with viewers and fosters a greater understanding of the challenges faced by many. Because I believe we can encourage open dialogue and ultimately provide support to those who may be struggling so that we all can move past that phase.
