press-release 'Born Into It' - A short documentary on mental health, shot on VHS.

[OldGod]

Featuring raw interviews and stories coming straight from actual sufferers of mental illness. The goal is to increase awareness and shed light on stories that may otherwise have gone unheard. They can no longer be swept under the rug. They need a voice.

Born Into It - Trailer (Selected by FilmShortage.com as a trailer of the week)

I was inspired to start this project after the tragic suicide of my best friend. I felt that I needed to do something other than just mourn him. I wanted to show people the damage that untreated mental health issues can cause. I bought my VHS camera and a Poloroid camera and began my project. Interviewing multiple people in my community who suffer the same illnesses as my friend did. These are stories I felt needed to be heard.

It is a solo project and the film is shot entirely on VHS and uses a mixed media style with Polaroid photos, notes, book excerpts, quotes, statistics, data, etc. It's just about done and will be released soon.
