- 15. Discuss in groups of three… • What did you think? • What did you feel? #Movies4MentalHealth
- 16. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts Different backgrounds and people – anxiety is across the board of humanity Cool to see from outside perspective on what the day to day challenges are for people who experience anxiety What was on screen was disorganized and showed how it is to experience (by what was on screen). Showed intensity Individually they weren’t all relatable. Trying to explain to family what it’s like is difficult. Years ago, not so common to see how many people have these experiences, resources and awareness helps us help others. Feelings Felt validating to see anxiety portrayed in a realistic way Compassion/ate Relate to them in some ways – scrolling, scrolling – or having friends but feeling alone Very relatable no matter background. Spreading awareness and letting people know that they are not alone. Being anxious don’t want to be judged for getting help.
- 17. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts Wasn’t just doctors or self- medicating. Interesting to see how much social media has increased anxiety and experiences of anxiety. Always trying to find out what people are doing. Important to show how people help themselves (i.e., - pets) Ways to branch out that are within your grasp and comfort zone. Feelings Seeing how other people deal with it – helpful to see. Knowing that you are not doing something wrong for what you experience. Listening to them talk about their anxiety generated a feeling of anxiousness.
- 18. How did the filmmaking techniques help tell the story? • “Facetime” type of interviews • Editing – quickly cut scenes initially and then slowed down to music • Music • Shown actually having/experiencing anxiety (girl drowning in tub) – very realistic • At the end, person rising up (coming out of the state that she was in) • Man in bed – wondering if that’s where he went to retreat • Lightening - showed different types of anxieties • Use of the veil – incorporating idea of community #Movies4MentalHealth
- 19. Purpose By Victor Okoye AWI Winner, December 2016 #Movies4MentalHealth
- 20. Discuss in groups of three… • What did you think? • What did you feel? #Movies4MentalHealth
- 21. What did you think? What did you feel? Thoughts Purposes in life change throughout our lives (personal example – being let go from long term career, now back in school) How you react to changes Wasn’t clear of the message – felt like an existential crisis. Not my mental state and feel like I’m in a whole – felt like man in need. Didn’t see what he did then with his life – just know he likes photography Avoiding eye contact – many people in person are non existent. We need to engage more. Feelings Cried – showed power of sharing your experience. Helpful to stop and take a breath. Pierced heart and struck even closer to home. Without meaning, everyday is the same. Photography saved him from himself and he has anxiety disorder and was suicidal. Was more personal – showed different method to helping other people. Being able to tell your story and find what could be helpful. Had to be hospitalized – conversion disorder – psychological illness from being stressed
- 22. Why don’t people get help? • Insecurity – wanting to be strong for themselves, but to get strong you must seek guidance of others • Backlash (consequences that show up unfavorably in other areas of life – like Child Services being called on a parent) • Amount of time it can take to get help – adding stress • Guilt – not wanting to feel like a burden • Pride – want to feel self reliant – fear of vulnerability • Ashamed of the situation • Stubborn (minimizing what’s happening) • People dismissing it – even if they are close to you. • Don’t know where to go or who to talk to. • Element of frustration because it’s hard to explain. • Lack of awareness of what they are experiencing. • Financial. • Health insurance #Movies4MentalHealth
- 23. Little Elizabeth By Elizabeth Ayiku AWI Winner, February 2018 #Movies4MentalHealth
- 24. Responses and Reactions? #Movies4MentalHealth • Played important objective – story of someone with these kind of struggles – could see how the character felt in terms of her mental health • Stated that she is traumatized by the voice in her head – also telling the story with her voice • How important self care is. Voice will always be there – always experiencing pain but being able to get it out in writing (in this case). • Liked the ending – got warmer and warmer (sound of her voice) and what she said about herself. • Expressing the importance of self-love – always trying to feel void from childhood, but learning to love yourself can be very empowering to help you cope with childhood experiences. • Very liberating – acceptance of the voice instead of hiding it. Can relate to a lot more people that way and help them with what they’re going through as well. • Never thought about “the voice” that way – depending on the trauma, is a version of yourself. Hit really close.
