I have always had a difficult relationship with education and the idea of being pushed towards pursuing a specific career from a young age. Even as a student who achieved decent grades, I felt like my dreams and aspirations were second to the numbers I would receive on my grades sheet. And so in my final year of university, I endeavoured to write and make a film about these same anxieties and pressures I felt. This story is a depiction of anxiety and the restrictive feeling of not being in total control of your own life.
