Blame the Pressure is a short, visual-driven film that explores the silent weight of academic life and its impact on mental health. Through atmosphere and imagery rather than dialogue, the film captures the burnout, exhaustion, and emotional strain many students carry while continuing to show up each day. By focusing on the unspoken moments, Blame the Pressure reflects the quiet inner battles people hide behind everyday routines, reminding viewers they are not alone in feeling overwhelmed.
