I have always been a quiet girl. I used to overthink everything I said. I was the shy girl, the introvert. And I hated it. I didn’t want to be introverted. I wanted to be like one of those girls that can talk without overthinking. I wanted to be loud, carefree and most of all, confident.
“Rat’s Nest” is a short film about my personal experience with mental health and self-worth. Frustrated with her introversion, the protagonist Mia retreats into her own mind. This is how viewers find themselves in her subconsciousness, trying to figure out what is going on inside her head.
