Building Resilience (2018)

The Samaritans approached us with a really open brief. They wanted us to create two short films that introduces the concepts of emotional health to young people. Building Resilience is the first in the series.

This project began by visiting schools and youth groups to speak with young people about emotional health and what things can affect them. From this research we wrote the script based on real experiences which was important so that the young people could relate to them. The film introduces 3 characters in situations that affect their emotional health, we see them again in the same situation this time they handle things with a more resilient response. Using minimal dialogue we wanted the images to reflect the feelings of each character.
