Chimera

Mental health is a supremely complex subject to engage with, to say the least. The short film is an honest and sincere attempt to do the same. It invokes chimerism and the manner in which it gets tied with schizophrenia and a girl's struggle to feel accepted. It raises questions about the marginalisation of those struggling with a mental illness and the treatment that is often meted out to them due to stereotypes and prejudice.

The narrative shows investment of thought in the manner in which it is realised. The plot is confined to the bedroom of the protagonist, it's only character, as it attempts to play with sound and camera angles. Though lacking in resources and polished technique, the film shows potential that can be explored in latter projects by the team.
