Filmmaker Statement

In this video, I speak openly about my severe depression and how it affects me. I do this in the hopes that those of you out there suffering from a mental illness will feel less alone after watching and maybe even find strength in your own voice. No one should ever be ashamed of their illness and I know first-hand how hard it is to ask for the help you need. It's okay to not be okay. Stay strong. (I am currently writing the sequel to tell the story of my journey through therapy and fighting back against my mental illnesses. I would really appreciate any advice you are able to give as to how I can raise awareness and help others with my films. I want to make a difference I'm just not sure how to spread my message. Thank you for your time.)
