Yo, wanted to be a fireman,
Than I lost the desire man,
The second I got old enough,
To buy myself a cider can,
Yeah, I was a smart little kid,
That side's departed me since,
These days you can catch me,
Sitting on the bench in the park with a lager and crisps...

"The Crowd Fear Diaries" -
This is sort of trailer for a short film I'm working on about isolation called "The Crowd Fear Diaries" which is part of a lager project called "Black Dog". The film is something I've been messing around with for a long time, but I'd like to actually get it finished and on the web by October 2016.
At the moment I'm doing everything myself, but that's not in any way by choice. Also the video isn't actually excerpts from the film, it's just clips I've cobbled together to illustrate the feel that I'm after for the idea of a man loosing his grip on reality. It's taken from personal experience of being bipolar, and having suffered from agoraphobia, and a fear of crowded places like supermarket [and the checkout is supposed to exactly the metaphor if appears to be].
The film follows the main character through a series of videos he posts on social media about his life, his fears, and conversation he has with both the Samaritans, and other residents as he becomes more and more paranoid, and increasingly isolated from the world following the death of his long term girlfriend from a drugs overdose.
At the moment it's all just me, but I'm looking for help on this, so if anyone want's to be a part of it I'm totally open to collaborators on this project. The end goal is to have a finished 15 to 20 minute film up on a social media platform by October 10th, which is national mental health awareness day...
