00:47 and extremely grateful to be able to share

00:57 and just be able to share my story
01:00 and motivate people and have amazing people
01:02 to see in this movie.
01:04 And I feel so, so grateful.
01:06 - Why do you think this movie is very important,
01:10 especially right now?
01:12 - Because I think mental health right now,
01:15 more than ever, is a subject that we cannot avoid anymore.
01:19 We need to talk about it.
01:21 There's a lot of people going through it
01:23 and they feel incredibly misunderstood
01:26 and alone and they have no one they can talk to.
01:29 So I think we should talk more about mental health
01:32 so we can put some seed of hope
01:35 because we need to get together in this moment.
01:39 You know, mental health is a very important subject.
01:43 - Anita is one of the producers in this film.

01:57 to help to make this project come alive, it's amazing.
02:00 It's someone that I truly admire
02:03 as a person, as a professional.
02:05 So just be able to work with my friends
02:07 and people that I admire, it means the world to me.
02:10 - In your worst moments, what help you?
02:15 - I think my family, you know.
02:17 When you go through any mental health problem,
02:21 I think that's when you realize how important it is
02:24 to have someone, even if it's only one person,
02:27 that you can count on, that can be your shoulder, you know.
02:31 So this is the moment that I realized
02:33 my family is everything and they're really important
02:36 and I'm very lucky to have, you know,
02:39 very real people in my life.
