Directing Change

The Guide of Life

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

I chose my dog, his name is S'mores, as my mental health hero. It relates back to the content because he is someone who helps me. After a long day, going home and spending time with my dog always makes me happy. I drew that landscape to describe the highs and lows of life. The right part of the drawing represents the sad parts of life. My dog and I are passing over the bridge to the other side. He is guiding me and helping me be happy.
