All these people come by to tell one story. It\u2019s the idea of a tragedy that leads to depression and causes someone to separate himself from his friends and family. It\u2019s about how depression can really have an impact on people without them even knowing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never been diagnosed with depression,\u201d adds Justin, a film studies and <a href=\"\/animal-studies\/\">animal studies<\/a> student. \u201cBut I\u2019ve seen my fair share of death within my family, and I\u2019ve gone to more funerals lately than birthday parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with most films, there were glitches during the process. The actor Justin had chosen for the lead had to cancel at the last minute. \u201cBut it turned out better because I could put my own emotions into the character,\u201d Justin says. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of difficult because it\u2019s hard for young men to express their feelings. I was sharing a piece of myself with this film, and that wasn\u2019t easy, because you\u2019re judged by everybody who watches it. But people saw it and offered encouragement.

He\u2019s not telling you how to think, but instead he invites the audience to build empathy and understanding through observing the experience of the characters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited to see what Justin does next.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extraa-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":130,"featured_media":8440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,87,56,159],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-awards","9":"category-film-studies","10":"category-students"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
