Depression affects us all
We're all touched in some manner by this affliction. We're more connected than ever, but what has this done for our sense of self? We're constantly online, looking at each other's posts with envy, or the lack of engagement on our own and wonder what am I doing wrong? Why aren't I being valued?
The Gift is a short film I wrote and was produced locally in Ottawa by Moonrise Films. It follows a young man's struggle to reconnect with society after coping with personal loss. It was screened at several festivals and we've been fortunate to have received a number of kind messages and comments to the affect it's had, and the conversation it's generated around mental health. This subject is more prescient than ever, so please lets keep the conversation going.
