Let Us Let Go
Let us let go is the story of a couple living with the impact of post traumatic stress disorder on their relationship.
9 years after initial events, a young artist with PTSD receives a wake up call from her partner, catalysing the search for a way to treat and manage the condition. Influenced by this sudden realisation, her practice mirrors the change, propelling her into a new body of work exploring the visual nature of the disorder.
The project was selected by Glasgow Film, See Me Scotland and Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival to be awarded part of the See Me Film Fund. The initiative was set up to give filmmakers the opportunity to share stories from people with experiences of mental health issues to inspire others to speak out and help end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health.
Let Us Let Go will premiere this October at the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival 2016
