My intention for my short film “Burnt Out” is to display a teenagers decline in mental health due to anxiety and external pressures. Explored through an outsider’s perspective, you watch the protagonist going through the motions of life as they slowly disengage from those around them. This melodramatic, no dialogue film aims to explore the reality of mental health amongst teenagers rather than romanticising it.
