How Do We Share?
Eli Lederberg
How Do We Share focuses on how do individuals suffering from mental illness and mental health issues share their own experiences. The main goal of this project was to bring awareness to the struggles of mental illness through an honest portrayal of fictional events. This is completed through a series of deliverables: a short 20-minute film, a companion guide to the film, and a website hosting both the film and guide, as well as poster and trailer. The companion guide serves as a tool both for those dealing with mental illness and those looking to offer support for those struggling. When read front to back, the guide provides five strategies for those suffering, and when back to front it provides five strategies for those looking to offer support. Ultimately, it is my hope that How Do We Share can be used to start a dialogue on more severe depictions of mental illness in order to bring awareness.
