I have obsessed over this idea for many years now, and It has stayed strong to why I want to make it. Taking inspiration from my life and the people around me, experiencing pain and loss I as many artists do, heal and transform real life experiences into stories. They help us heal and in turn also help other heal.
This script is gripping and nail biting, it feels like a whirlwind of overwhelming moments while our protagonist tries to reclaim her life. Anna represents what can happen when mental health is swept under the rug. And how we can all make terrible choices. Even though they come from a place of love.
