We are pleased to announce that WHY WOULDN’T I BE? -- a new short film written and directed by Ella Greenwood, and starring Harry Collett, Elizabeth Berrington, Susan Lawson-Reynolds and Tut Nyuot -- was recently honored with a selection by the MANCHESTER FILM FESTIVAL.
Teenage depression impacts millions, worldwide. Last year, in the US alone, some 9.7% (or over 2.3 million) youngsters reported struggling with severe depression. To help increase awareness, Ella shines light on this significant public-health issue. And in this film, a teenager (played by Collett) struggles with his personal crisis, and the inability to seek assistance.
Of course, this film wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the contributions of our team members, who we acknowledge by name and Instagram tag below
