Find the Words
This short is a brief reflection of my own experience in which my best friend found the words. I aimed to provide the three basic action steps someone could remember in a situation where they are concerned about someone they know. Although I wish I could have gotten more creative with my scenes, I did my best with the time allotment of 30 seconds.
Walking in Shoes of Depression
This video is about Walking in Shoes of Depression about a young girl who feels lost and helpless. However, one of her closest friends seemed concerned. All her friends happen to read notes from a box she left behind. They come to find out by reading the notes she doesn’t feel like she belongs on earth anymore. As a result, as a group, they went to check up on her to show she is not alone and show her distractions, love, and support! She doesn’t have to walk alone in shoes of depression.
Moving Too Fast
This film depicts the struggle of a teen contemplating suicide. Life speeds past her as she feels out of touch and hopeless. A close friend notices the warning signs, reaches out to help, and offers numerous resources that provide further support.
To Help A Friend
One friend is sad. The other friend notices that they are acting different from how they normally are. They go over and talk to them and telling them that they are there for them.
Don’t Wait
We created our film to help decrease the stigma around Mental Health by showing that reaching out for help is good. Our main character struggles with her mental health issues but decides to share what she’s feeling with a friend. She realizes that there’s no shame in reaching out and that getting help improves her life.
Windows
Our eyes expresses our feelings, and show the emotions in us. Take time to look at others and offer help if needed because everyone deserves to be seen, and everyone deserves to be happy.
Invisible
A student struggles as he’s being labeled and bullied at school. A friend reaches out to him and uses positive words to build him up.
Creative Social Distancing
“My entry is for the monthly October Hope and Justice Prompt. My entry is about some ways we could identify 6 feet and social distance creatively. It is a 59 second animation.”
Real Life Hero’s
Heroes don’t always look like Superman, Wonder Woman, or Iron Man, they can work in hospitals, fire departments, or even classrooms. With all the negativity around the world, we all deserve a hero. We need someone to give us inspiration and hope. Whoever your hero might be, whether it’s your mom, dad, or someone who you look up to, they are there to protect us from real-life evil and dangers. All heroes have one thing in common, they give us hope by making it known that they will overpower evil with their good hearts and kindness.
