Self Direct

A vulnerable portrait of a young man raised outside the bounds of institutional education systems and the mental turmoil along with the philosophical conflicts that he has to overcome when he decides to enter them.

​Self-Direct follows a 21 year old rediscovering his love of life learning, his love of self and his love of honest creative expression following mental health issues that ensued during his first year of directed learning at post secondary film school.
