THE NOTHING (2020)
The short film is a journey of mental health in which we can learn and grow from–taking each challenge and moment to reflect on. Arthur is in his late twenties and, feels he doesn't have his life together. He isn't happy that he still lives at home, no apparent job or career in sight and when left alone, his fears are heightened. Being left alone with his thoughts to face his anxiety and depression. With all the subtext in the films minimal dialogue, there is emphasis on visuals to portray Arthur's anxiety and emotions. His friends, Mitchell and Sabrina are there in the beginning, but there's an elephant in the room. Arthur's depression is not brought up, but both characters are aware and dance around the subject as many people do. What is revealed in the end is hope for not just Arthur, but perhaps for anyone going through a similar situation.

THE LETTER J (2018)
Written by Flavia Bartolo Directed by Melissa Pellicano Director of Photography Steven Gatti Synopsis: The Letter J, a film by Flavia DiBartolo, is the story of Scarlett, a 20-something struggling to find love in the mess that is life as a millenial. Having written a poem for her first crush in 4th grade and being outed in front of the whole class, she’s still feeling humiliated now as an adult. She struggles with “fuckbois” and wrong guys coming in and out of her life, taking advantage of the hopeless romantic's pursuit of happiness. Director’s Statement: The film from day one has always expressed that is a slice of life, a small window into the love life of a 20-something in this day and age of technology and dating apps. The social constructs revealed bring new tropes to the table, a “f*ckboi” and the kind of hopeless romantic that has been conditioned to believe that love is everywhere and to be too trusting. I took a direction with the film that pays homage to the romantic comedies of the 1980s and possibly 1990s, where our protagonist, our heroine, is always triumphant in finding love. We’re left hopeful by the end of The Letter J, but there’s still a question if our final guy is THE guy. Our heroine is clumsy and aloof, so she is blind to what is wrong in front of her. There is a pattern as a result that follows her. It’s up to her to break that pattern.

How a Young Artist Gained Freedom by Following Their Passion
Many modern artists start off their career in a similar way — make a Tumblr for fan art of popular characters from film, TV and comics, gain a following and do commissions of favorite characters for cash. Sometimes this turns into self-publishing webcomics, going to school for animation or becoming an illustrator for picture books, comics or graphic novels. What begins as a fun hobby can become an online community for support, networking and creating a portfolio. Alex Garcia's story started this way, too, but it quickly became a means for survival. #InsideEdition
