If You Ask Me (Youth Shorts program)

$12 – $20If You Ask Me
In 2017, Rendezvous with Madness (RWM) and CAMH’s National Youth Action Committee (NYAC) partnered to create ‘If You Ask Me’ (IYAM) – a compilation of short films created by youth from across Canada exploring their own experiences with mental health and/or addiction issues.
This year, NYAC and RWM commissioned 15 of the youth filmmakers to create new IYAM films! Participating in a series of workshops with RWM mentors Nadine Espinoza, Rick Miller and Maria-Saroja Ponnambalam and facilitated by youth mentor Erum Khan, the filmmakers supported each other through the creative process by pushing themselves to share their stories and answer important questions.
Screening will be followed by a discussion with many of the contributing filmmakers.
