Though he has developed techniques to bury these painful memories deep within, they persistently resurface, threatening to consume him. In order to break free from this torment, John is compelled to confront the ghosts of his past and make a pivotal decision. Will he find the strength to make the correct choice? VR EXPERIENCE Abstractly exploring and depicting the invisible impacts of altered mental health, MINDFIELD is an immersive experience focuses on how John, an army veteran, has his life altered by his post-traumatic stress disorder. The audience will delve inside his memories, transported to the core of the emotional rift he experienced during a more chaotic time of war. Will John be able to open up about his past to a loved one, freeing himself partially from the burden he bears? Or will he remain stuck in this loop of hopelessness? The person that can determine John's fate... is you! ADDRESSING POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER The film's objective is to sensitize the viewer towards how PTSD can influence the experience of daily life, making them a witness of imagery depicting the character's inner state of turmoil, as well as exposing them to a painful memory of trauma. The film searches to evoke empathy, but also to provoke a questioning towards traumatic experiences, their impacts and the healing process.
