Look at this amazing presentation Alexis Konwinsky from Dominican University made about her experience as a Mental Filmness jury member!! I have to admit, I was pretty bowled over by this. The fact that this experience was so meaningful to someone who has helped us so much is incredibly rewarding. I also love the idea of “cinema therapy”—I’ve always felt that watching the films helps me connect to others and understand my own mental health struggles. It truly is a form of therapy for me.
Thank you Alexis, we appreciate you and all of our jury members. We could use some more and I’ll be putting out a call soon—please e-mail sharon@mentalfilmness.com if interested. Happy to give student or community service credit if it is approved, and to give recommendation letters.
