The Goal of "Real Love":

With "Real Love" being my first ever short film, I wanted to create something that set a strong example of what I want my future films/tv shows to be like.

"Real Love" is a mental health narrative short film heavily focused on providing viewers with comfort and relatability, specifically for those suffering with depression or suicidal thoughts. With the count of suicide raising more than ever before, I knew I had to do something to raise awareness on this issue.

Of course this film has a few supernatural elements, but at heart, I wanted to create something that connected with people and inspired them to not give up on their lives, no matter how hard it gets. Sometimes, when we are at our lowest lows, we turn to the wrong "answers" to our problems instead of the right answers.

With this film, I hope to cover all of these things with my creative vision and tell a story in my own unique way.
