In the summer of 2022, amidst deep depression, anxiety, and burnout, I created 'HOPE', a short film born from my own struggle with mental illness. It serves as a gentle embrace for those who, like me, grapple with the weight of existence. 'HOPE' is a testament to resilience, aimed at individuals who face daily battles with tasks as basic as getting out of bed, compounded by lack of understanding from their families and profound loneliness. Yet, it celebrates the beauty of new beginnings and the resilience of the human spirit, offering a beacon of warmth and encouragement to all who persevere in the face of despair.
