The FrUIT FIX
A short film highlighting a possible treatment for social anxiety and mental health. The film tells the story of a person in treatment, their setbacks and victories. The idea is based on a CBT behavioral experiment, that desensitizes a sufferer by asking them to attempt to embarrass themselves in public. I’ve seen this treatment in action, it’s a positive and empowering process and I’ve been keen to find a way to represent it on film.
We made the film because mental health isn’t often represented on film in realistic and nuanced way. The film should be helpful for people that suffer from social anxiety, by highlighting a specific treatment. To push the subject into the public sphere to both contribute to ongoing debate about mental health and possibly help people.
