the loneliness epidemic (short film)

We talk about depression, anxiety and other mental health issues, but we often forget one of the biggest side effects: loneliness. In this video, I tried to capture the feelings & mood of living in lockdown, but also shine some light on the issue of feeling left out, whether there’s a pandemic going on or not. I wrote this based on emails I received & browsing through thousands of pages online. I just want to say that although this video doesn’t have an actual happy ending - so many of the stories I’ve read online had one - please don’t give up. The right time and the right people will come along at some point... I know it’s even harder now, but we can get through this. Feel free to share your experience and connect in the comments. Love to you all. Please know you’re not alone in feeling lonely.
