This film was made last summer at Everett's Summer Film Program, which was funded through a grant from One Providence for Youth: Mayor Elorza’s Summer Jobs Program. Everett gave youth the opportunity to produce, write, direct, act in and edit multi-faceted video projects around the theme of mental health. Stories that begged to be told were uncovered and given visuals.
