Short Film: Put On A Happy Face

For this film, I wanted to express an emotion that everyone has experienced before in a social setting. We often create plastic emotions to wear over the pure and natural emotions that tend to push people away. You don't want to show everybody how awful you're feeling that day and so you fall under the pressure to "put on a smile." I think it's important to show any pain or sorrow you're feeling so that your friends and family can help accordingly. We need to remove the masks we wear too often and come together with unadulterated empathy.
