PROJECT<\/b><\/span><\/p>

This was Andrew\u2019s last year as a student in the Film2Future program. This year was a collaboration between Film2Future, Hulu, and The Jed Foundation<\/a> to create advertisement spots for World Mental Health Day. Andrew was surprised when his idea about people hiding their true feelings behind a mask was chosen to be one of the five PSAs created. This was his first time writing, directing, and composing a project based on his own concept.<\/span><\/p>

He was grateful to have the support and trust of his crew as he navigated leading a production for the first time. Iyeh Malekpour (Producer, Set Designer), Brian Gutierrez (Director of Photography), and Haley Flores (Sound Mixer, Editor) were invaluable to bringing the concept to life.<\/span><\/p>

The goal behind the string-only score was to focus on how opening up and having the support of others can help with navigating tough situations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
