Hi everyone.

I always found there was no engaging form of media that adequately showed what its like to live with depression. I'm diagnosed Bipolar type 2 and find the depressive episodes the hardest to contend with. As a director/choreographer i've always wanted to explore this invisible disability and create a tangible product to show those unburdened by depressions effects; in addition to being a cathartic viewing experience for those suffering.

So, I have created this short self funded Horror film - [https://youtu.be/7BRo\_9IYCAw](https://youtu.be/7BRo_9IYCAw)

I hope you all enjoy this and let me know what you think! Hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves.

All warmth,
