Directing Change

Lonely Skies

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

My entry is about someone who feels lost in their own negativity and self-hate. Most of this stems from their fear of people and their expectations of who you should be as a person. This makes them feel like they’ll never be worth enough, and what’s worse is no one out there seems to be able to see their struggles. However, their anchor that supports them are the people at home, and even though they still struggle with their own self-worth, their family can make it a little more bearable. And it also gives them hope that maybe one day, they’ll be able to escape the unhealthy mindset.
