These beat boards were made for If You Really Tried- a short film idea I pitched in front of a professional panel and cohorts in my 3rd year.

​

It follows Nova, who seeks out her younger self in a dreamspace in order to answer her ADHD questionnaire.

 

As she traverses through a shifting miasma of sordid memories; she relives a lot of trauma from parents, peers, and caretakers berating her for things she cannot control- until her younger self finally breaks from all the pain.

 

The story ends with both Novas accepting that their disability wasn't flawed, and moving forward from the grief of growing up differently to everyone else.
