Maze

I am currently in my second year of college and I have been given an amazing opportunity to produce a short film for Buckinghamshire council. My idea shows the difficulties teenagers can face when managing their medication independently by using a metaphorical maze. As young people get older they are expected to take on more responsibility for their own health. While this can help build independence, it can also feel overwhelming, especially when they are unsure what steps to take or who to ask for help. Through the metaphor of a maze, I want to show how easily someone can feel lost when dealing with these responsibilities. At the same time, I want the film to encourage young people to speak to trusted healthcare professionals when they need guidance. The message I want people to end up taking away from this film is ‘asking for help shouldn’t feel like a weakness.’
