Experiencing Interruptions?

"Who Asked?"

As a person who talks a lot, it's very important to me as a person to feel listened to and especially when I'm talking about my struggles. I filmed and edited this film to portray what my thoughts of what freedom of speech mean to me. To not only be able to speak my thoughts without being mistreated or punished, but to also be heard, because sometimes to be listened to is just what a person needs.

Director Statement

I wanted this film to portray my passion about being heard. I love to talk but when I'm trying to express my struggles and trying to seek help without asking for it straight up, I just want to feel listened too and it hurts when it feels no one cares. And that's what freedom of speech means to me, to not only have the ability to speak freely, but to also speak and be heard.
