A high school girl struggles to find her own identity with a new group of friends and discovers that together, their choices have an impact beyond what they ever imagined. This universally autobiographical tale, written by 16-year-old Meredith Grace Dabney, is a reminder of vulnerability, life’s connections and most importantly that words and actions, however small, affect everyone and everything.


HERE TODAY is a voice for people who are in that dark place. The film speaks as a voice of encouragement and love, and to educate on the topics of suicide, anxiety and depression. Most importantly, it serves as a reminder that wherever you may be on your journey in life, YOU are valid and important. Every single action, word, and encounter you have, as part of your life’s journey, has an everlasting impact and truly does matter.
