A look into the anxiety a teenage high school girl feels towards the possibility of a school shooting.
In his high school Audio/Visual class, Zach and his classmates were given the prompt to create a PSA or short film about school shootings. Surprised at the number of his peers that wanted to focus on the gunman of the story, Zach decided to write a narrative story about a young girl vexed with anxiety, unable to focus on everyday school activities. Proud of his efforts and film Adam Rocha (Zach's teacher), told him to submit the short to South by Southwest's 2019 Film Festival. Zach laughed him off and said he wouldn't waste money but was later convinced, a month later he received an email notifying him that he'd been selected to screen, changing his life forever.
