People Think. People, Think.

By Chaitanya Bhatti with 6.5

documentary · Short Films · english

The film attempts a detailed engagement with social anxiety and an individual's personal relationship with it. It uses four people which include a queer artist, a student, a salon owner and an actor, to drive its point home. The narrative brings to life four very personal, intimate and defining experiences to discuss this particular form of anxiety.

Where it goes a step further is to portray how each of these people found a way to turn it around into something constructive, to take their worries and stress and other mental afflictions and channel them into something that helped them become a better version of themselves. Because of its candour, the film manages to communicate successfully what it had set out to. However, it would have gained more with a little polishing of the technical aspects in the form of pacing, edit and a smoother conclusion.
