Adelaide will produce a short film that utilizes puppetry, performance art and stop motion animation to create awareness about mental health struggles. Using themes of fantasy and magical realism, the short film will subvert triggering language and imagery around depression, self-harm, and suicide to showcase the hardships, beauty, and magic of survival. The short film and puppets will be exhibited in Philadelphia, submitted to the Sent(a)Mental Project, and a shorter film and process video will be displayed on Vimeo or Youtube.
