What It Feels Like

Synopsis

A short animated documentary which investigates the commonly misunderstood mental health behaviour of voice hearing.
Small boxes that contain flip book style animation are presented to show the emotion that people who hear voices feel.
The documentary is experimental and expressive in its approach, where the positives and negatives combine to fully express the subversive nature of a misinterpreted and unacknowledged behaviour.
