A quiet, emotional music video about life with ME/CFS –a neurological illness that traps millions in exhaustion and stillness.Often triggered by viral infections – like Covid.This original song tells of darkness and repetition –and the quiet return of strength.For all those still lying in silence, holding on to hope.

Forever Dying

A young man’s health anxiety spirals out of control in a surreal waiting room, where a mysterious bump on his head may be real—or entirely imagined. Forever Dying is a darkly comic, psychological short about fear, the absurdity of the healthcare system, and what happens when the mind takes control of the body.

After a woman’s breakdown is dismissed as hysteria in 1960s America, she retreats into silence, until a haunting mirror and a flickering TV begin to unravel the truth she’s buried for years.

Always Enough

After blaming herself for years, Laney travels to the home of her college roommate, Kat, to collect a letter Kat left for her before she had taken her own life. As she spends time with Kat's mom, she comes to understand Kat's lifelong struggle with mental health, and she recognizes how her own mental health has prevented her from moving through the grieving process.

Dried Flowers

In a small and slow village in Norway, it has become a well-known theme that more and more men struggle to talk openly about how they feel and their every-day struggles, and the statistics on depression among men is painful to read for the village. As a last resort, the municipality has introduced the preventive, but absurd group therapy concept, "Ventriloquist therapy."&nbsp;
