A janitor struggling with his mental state only looks forward to his next drink.
Janitor 988 is a short drama film intended to highlight the state of mental health in today's society. More so, the film aims to spread awareness about how the signs of depression can be subtle. The goal of scenes in the short film are to project a lonely, cinematic atmosphere that encompasses the environment of someone who is working a job they don’t love, while living in a situation where they look forward to nothing but the next sip of alcohol. The choices of wardrobe and set design are intentional and are intended to match the dark, blue state of the character.
This film and subject matter is extremely close to my heart, as I am someone who has had a long battle with mental health. I temporarily dropped out of school when my mental health was at it's lowest point. The struggles have made me determined to use my platform to spread awareness about topics we don't speak about enough and that's what I hope to do with Janitor 988.
