Directing Change

Kurt Cobain

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

Throughout Kurt Cobain’s life he struggled with anxiety and depression, and I struggle with this as well. Despite struggling with these emotions, he still managed to create such inspiring art and music. Others that also struggle with depression and anxiety now listen to the works of art Kurt Cobain left behind and feel as though they aren't alone in their experience. I feel that Kurt Cobain really did a lot to better the lives of others and to speak about issues that need to be addressed. While Kurt Cobain did lose his battle with mental health, he did so many great things in his short life. Kurt Cobain inspires me to keep going, and to keep creating despite feelings of depression and anxiety, and that is what makes him my mental health hero.
