Thanks for your comments with regard to my film. There are some interesting thoughts there - and also in the study guide.

For me, what was interesting about writing this film was the ambiguity. We always assume that some things are positive (hope) and some things are negative (giving up).

This film is about challenging that simplistic view. Sometimes people hurt themselves and those around them by sticking to a point of view - far beyond which it is useful. Sometimes your emotions become your own prison.
