Directing Change

Light at the end of the book

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

The prompt was Find Your Anchor. We had to create something that told people about our anchor that we use to cope with the tough and bad times. This painting represents the anchor that is books,a lot of people use books as an anchor to cope because books can transport to a different place or a different state of mind. Books just help to take focus off your intrusive thoughts or a bad situation. That is exactly what the painting portrays, it shows how powerful books can be when you need something to help you cope.
