Directing Change

Scars and Souvenirs

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

This piece shows a man full of color at the top of a mountain. His problems, dark and grey, grasp for him at the bottom. But they can't touch him. This is a symbolic representation of how we can use our negativity as fuel for positivity. The two sides of people wage war constantly and it can be tiring. But this piece is a reminder to all that the hero in our hearts is stronger that the evil in our brains.
