DRIFTING

 

DRIFTING is an interactive short film designed to raise awareness about the realities of living with depression and how small choices can have a powerful impact on someone’s life. It follows Arthur, a university student struggling silently with his mental health as his friends attempt to reach out and support him.

 

As the audience, you will be given the choice to accept or deny help on Arthur’s behalf, ultimately determining his outcome. This decision highlights the critical importance of seeking support and how professional help can be life changing. Through this narrative, DRIFTING aims to foster empathy, encourage conversation around mental health, and show that even small acts of care and understanding can make a real difference.
