Tasha Arnold Produces Film in the Style of French Directors

French major Tasha Arnold worked with faculty sponsor Dr. David McCoy from the Department of Journalism and Digital Media to write, direct, film and edit a short film focusing on mental illness awareness in the style of French directors. She will present her poster at the 11:45 a.m. URCA session in the alumni room on April 11. 

Her primary goal for her film, "Breathe," was to portray an accurate representation of anxiety and the stigma that others associate with it. The film is relatable to those who suffer from mental illness and a learning tool for those who don’t. “Breathe” follows Audrey as she lives with extreme anxiety, and shows how she handles a roommate who refuses to understand Audrey’s point of view.
