This was a passion project close to my heart that I directed, shot and edited in under 5 days for a local community challenge. This short documentary touches on topics such as immigration, depression, hope and healing. It tells Stella's story of perseverance against all odds, ultimately overcoming suicidal ideation through reconnection with nature in Florida. We are planning on expanding her story with a longer version, feel free to reach out if you want more details.
