Hi,
My name’s Ben and I’m a young Drama student. I’ve been hearing lots of different stories about people facing issues and overcoming or struggling etc., and it’s struck a chord with me and I feel they’re issues which need to be more widely known, so more help can be given. So I am looking to create short films, based on these different issues; to raise awareness. These would be an honest look at what’s happening, and to get genuine emotion I’d like to know real stories, which can help me form a narrative.
So would appreciate anyone giving me their story and possibly giving me responses to as many of these questions as you can in regard to homelessness:
How does it make you feel?
How do you see the world and how do you feel the world is seeing you?
Are you angry at all? – with world or yourself – if so, why?
Do you doubt yourself? – if so, why?
What sort of things upset you the most?
Why do you feel that way?
How do you try and overcome?
What do you wish could be different?
What can help?
Do you think ever overcome?
If you have, then how do you feel now that you’ve moved on?
What advice would you give to others suffering?
Please reply to this post with your response. Thank you for taking the time, and I hope these short films will be able to help others who may find themselves in similar positions, and I hope you all take care – you’re brilliant people with lots of people who care for you, I hope you realise that and stay strong. Speak to those around you, and get support from the right places.
Take care, Ben
